I’m a proud high school musical awards adjudicator in the Upstate New York region. I am an author, and freelance writer, and for the past 20 years, a contributing writer for US Figure Skating.I am the author of a series of skating books for young skaters called the "Skating Forward" series and a new e book for high school musical students called "My First High School Musical: From Auditions to Opening Night and Everything in Between." I reside in Upstate NY with my husband Greg, a veterinarian, and our very happy and lively golden retriever April Mae. I love working with my high school students, encouraging them to participate in their musical theater productions, and to treasure their high school musical experience.
