FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:
Sessions:
I am frequently confused with my identical twin sister.
I grew up in both New York and Paris.
Growing up, Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans was my favorite book and I loved the line, “And all the little girls cried, Boohoo, we want to have our appendix out, too!”
My French school uniform was not very different from Madeline’s uniform. (And I even wore my uniform when I was an extra in the movie, Julia).
I loved Madeline so much that I named my second dog, Madeleine, as a tribute to both the French cookie and the character of Madeline.
