I'll start by taking a few steps back. I was born in Brooklyn and grew up on Long Island (with absolutely no accent!). I started dancing when I was about the same age as my son Oliver (pictured with my husband Peter and me). It has always been a tremendous love of mine. Trying to get a job in New York as a dancer was just like Chorus Line and all of those cattle calls you've seen in the movies. I didn't have much luck but I did get to choreograph an off, off, off, off Broadway play - though we never got paid because the show opened & closed in the same week.

Then I took a long jet, moved to Seattle and did my MBA at the University of Washington. Before coming to Sierra, I worked in marketing and PR at a local newspaper publisher and for TCI, the cable company. Then I got my chance in the software industry.

This is the longest job I ever had - almost 4.5 years! It's certainly been the most challenging as it changes constantly. In fact, every project seems like a new job because you have to learn so much. Anyway, it keeps me busy (too busy sometimes) and out of trouble. Working on GK3 is especially challenging and rewarding because it is such a large project and we are pushing technology on all fronts.

I really enjoy the process and seeing the game slowly come alive. Jane has written such an engrossing story. Everything is looking and sounding just great. I can't say it hasn't been without its challenges but nothing we haven't been able to figure out. Anyway, that's what we get paid for!
