My mission is to help inspire, educate and empower every day people to help restore our climate and our ecosystems together through engaging media content. 

If you think we need more solutions focused environmental media, please support. And thank YOU for being part of the solution! We need everyone at the table. 

I am an award winning actress, a voice-over artist, director, producer and founder of Global Cooling Productions. My dramatic, narrative series, Revolution Earth was co-created with Golden Globe Award winning writer/producer Jeff Abugov (‘Roseanne, ‘Two and a Half Men’, 'Cheers'). I also produced multiple political ads for Quantum Surge Media and was an on camera host for Long Island International Film Expo.

As an audio producer, I was involved with ESPN’s ‘30 for 30’ series, ‘The Two Escobars’, I directed and produced four audio-books, and have taught countless students the art of acting both on camera and on the mic while producing demos for The NY Voice Over Success Program and Voice Tree Productions.

My current dedication to climate restoration and environmental action was inspired by the birth of my daughter Phoenix. Since then, I have traveled across the country searching for a deeper understanding of the issues related to the climate crisis, while maintaining a specific focus on its solutions. In Texas, I was educated by Al Gore as part of his Climate Reality Leadership Corps. In Pennsylvania, I received climate advocacy training from the Citizens Climate Lobby. In Colorado, I attended the American Renewable Energy Day Summit three years in a row, where I was also a panel speaker. And in NJ, I spoke at the Cooperative Impact Social Innovation Conference sponsored by Princeton University.

In Washington DC and Florida, while lobbying for climate action with the American Sustainable Business Council and CCL, I became aware that, while some important progress had been made, there were some politicians who would never lead their constituents on climate action. They were, in fact, waiting for their constituents to lead them. This has renewed my belief in the power of the media to help create the cultural shifts that will help save our ecosystems and preserve our children's futures.

In addition to my work with GreenTV, developing programming and strategizing impact, I have been working with climate scientists around the world through the Healthy Climate Alliance, Planetary Restoration Action Group and Healthy Planet Action Coalition to advocate for a three-pronged emergency scale plan for climate restoration. I also recently joined the advisory board for Love the Wild Foundation.
