Born to a Japanese mother (piano teacher) and American father (fine arts dealer), I grew up in San Francisco, CA, immersed in culture and choreographed chaos. Together with my husband and director Clay Morrow for almost 30 years, we’re raising two sons and a small zoo of pets just west of Los Angeles. When not focusing on work and family, I enjoy mentoring young writers, volunteering, composing music, and travel.

(p.s. I’m not officially a cat lady…yet; these are all foster kitties.)
