I got involved in community theater in 2005 when my son Alex who was learning to act at Pizazz Studios asked if I would join him by participating in Oliver. I played the lead role of Nancy and from that point, I was hooked! When Pizazz closed, I performed in musicals and dramas with St. Paul’s Centerstage, Second Stage Productions and Broadway Bound and was also a managing member of Eastline Theatre. However, when I heard about the Slayer Players, I put these endeavors aside to become a member and I’m glad I did because we've accomplished so much in our first seven years and have even bigger plans for the future!
In the “real world,” I am a board-certified dermatologist who specializes in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology for both adults and children. My career in medicine began when I attended the medical school at Stony Brook University after completing my pre-doctoral studies at the University of Virginia’s exclusive Echols Scholars program. At Stony Brook, I was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. My clinical training included an internship in Internal Medicine at NYU-Winthrop Hospital in Mineola followed by a residency in Dermatology at New York Medical College. In my final year of residency, I was chosen to serve as the sole Chief Resident.
In “the field,” after a 20-year stint in Garden City, I became Director of Dermatology for Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg’s newly-founded Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology group in Woodbury. My current hospital affiliations are Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital and Northwell Health’s Glen Cove Hospital and I also belong to the American Academy of Dermatology and the Long Island Dermatological Society.
Considering my "real-job" resposibilities, needless to say, I am pretty busy. But when I do have spare time, I love to devote it to community service. For example, I am the current Vice President of the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce and a member of Glen Cove’s Charter Review Commission. I also sit on the boards of the Community Scholarship Fund, Glen Cove C.A.R.E.S. and the Glen Cove Arts Council. In the past, I have served on the boards of the Glen Cove YMCA and the East Island Association while also being appointed by the Glen Cove Mayor to the Community Development Agency. I enjoy speaking at local hospitals, professional organizations, schools and social clubs and am always happy to promote good skin health at any venue in our community.
