I’d love to find out more about you and what we have in common, so here’s a few things about me to get the conversation started.
1. I grew up in Ohio, Minnesota, and North Dakota, went to school in Indiana, and now have lived in New York City for 16 years.
2. I was an “Urban Nomad” for nine years, with no permanent residence.
3. I am a member of the professional union of stage actors and stage managers, Actors Equity. I play quirky midwestern mid-century characters who wear aprons.
4. I produce a web series called “A Dairy Tale” that I created with my friend Joe. We describe it as “Parks and Rec” meets a Hallmark movie. Our goal is to pitch it to a streaming service. (Do you know anyone at Netflix?)
5. I coach mostly ministry professionals at progressive mainline denominations and ministry-adjacent women.
6. My soapbox issue is gender inequality, particularly how women’s voices are not heard in meetings, at dinner parties, or in government, and how film, TV, and theatre can change that story by telling a different story.
7. I can’t walk past one of those historical marker signs without reading it.
8. I am the descendant of a baseball player, Honus Wagner, whose baseball card is valued more highly than any other card. I don’t have the card.
9. I love personality typing systems. I’m an ENTJ (the Chief), Enneagram 3 (the Achiever) with a 2 wing (the Helper), and my Top 5 Strengths are Futuristic, Leader, Achiever, Activator, and Input.
10. I’m more than a little addicted to Diet Coke. It’s a problem.
What about you?
