I'm an actor and social activist who's been involved in social advocacy for a long time. I founded the Los Angeles Homeless Coalition, offering shelter, relief and skills training to the homeless population throughout the city.
In the winter of 2012, I'll be producing Earth Echoes, a theatrical production that will run in Los Angeles as a benefit for several nonprofit groups.
I studied Acting at the American Conservatory Theatre and served on the Board of Directors of the Alliance Repertory Company and Theatre East. I volunteer teaching Drama and Voice & Movement at the Academy of Music for the Blind, where I also serve on the Advisory Board.
Other Advisory Boards: ElephantVoices, DreamCatcher Wild Horse & Burro Sanctuary, Born Free USA and the National Equine Resource Network and with Dr. Jane Goodall on the Advisory Council for Save the Chimps, the world's largest chimpanzee refuge, which is a permanent retirement sanctuary for over 300 chimpanzees released from the NASA space research program, biomedical laboratories and the entertainment & pet trades.
Board: TheTenDollarClub.org, a nonprofit that funds poverty alleviation projects around the world. To date, we have undertaken 80 projects in 62 countries, providing life changing services for thousands of people in underdeveloped countries.

Happy February, Crowdrise friend! Thank you for your support, through your donations, votes, advocacy and friendliness. You probably know all about the amazing promos that CR runs. Right now, I think the most awesome is the chance to win an iPad 2. Every time you donate $26, you are entered to win.
Your $26 donation to a Reader to Reader project would help us send 2 boxes full of books to an under-resourced library here in the states, or support special education in the DR, or get a women's school built in Nigeria, or get books to families in transition... there are plenty of choices and who knows, you might get lucky!
Happy reading,
Kat

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint.... What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. ~Henry David Thoreau
