She is host of The Genie Show, which focuses on positive perspectives, personal growth and humor.  The Genie show airs on Oleo’s channel 52, Thursdays at 4 PM and Fridays at 7 PM or on the web at www.olelo.org

As a staff producer at KITV four, she produced hundreds of TV commercials.  Born in the theater, (her mother is an actress on the Sopranos) she did Childrens Theater in San Francisco and New York City.  She studied Improv Comedy at the prestigious Magnet Theater in New York City and at Laugh Track Theater in Honolulu, where she performed with the group Morphogenic Fields.

She is a Red Cross Volunteer at Tripler Army Medical Center where she has presented Act Resilient and taught Resilience classes with the Care Provider Support Program for over 500 doctors, nurses, and health care providers.

ACT RESILIENT began as a college credit acting class on the military bases, (meeting once a week for ten weeks.)   Delighted to see the immediate positive impact it has had on service men and women to help them deal with extreme stress, she expanded the program to help assist with the alarming rise of PTSD and related symptoms students who have had multiple deployments were experiencing.   She really wanted to do something to help, and my students have reported that this expanded acting program was very effective in helping them cope and find new and positive emotional choices.
