​In 2021, I appeared an expert author on E! Entertainment's True Hollywood Story, and between 2021 and 2022, I combined my writing and performance skills to create The Visibility Project. This included a series of satirical press releases and my book How to Be Ridiculous: 28 Tips for a Brand-New You!, which is structured for stage readings.

​

In 2024, I developed my solo show, Junk Drawer. I've performed the show at Hudson Valley Improv's Secret Open Mic (Highland, NY), Boughton Place (Highland, NY), Happier Valley Comedy (Hadley, MA), and the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (NYC), the latter of which called it "fun and charming to watch."

​

I also sing jazz, rock, and American standards with the Dave Kitchen Trio. I'm co-creator of the improvised comedic lounge act Mabel And Geffrey's Family Interest Affair. And I perform my original school assembly show Love Yourself More for grades K-5.​​​

​

And now, my writer bio!

​​​

When I started writing professionally, I quickly discovered my priorities are process and publishing. That meant I could happily cover just about any topic - and I have! 

​

Children's publishing has had my heart since 2006. I'm the author of more than 200 books for publishers including Scholastic, Hachette Book Group, Random House Kids, Lerner Publishing Group, Teacher Created Materials, Mayo Clinic Press Kids, and Learning A-Z. I've written for high-profile brands including Disney, Sesame Street, Little Golden Books, Time for Kids, and the Smithsonian.
