Sandra is also a multipassionate creative artist and award winning 40 year veteran of the entertainment industry as a Writer, Director, Actress, Producer, Singer/Songwriter and Teacher of Acting and Improvisation. In addition to teaching at universities and conservatories nationwide, she has directed over 100 professional stage productions and developed interactive programming and scenario-based training for diverse sectors, including law enforcement, social services, education, and healthcare.

Sandra’s mission is to create a world where everyone’s unique creative genius is respected, nurtured, and shared. Through decades of coaching and teaching thousands from all walks of life including children and adults with special needs, business leaders and their teams, creative artists, parents, and educators, Sandra developed her deep belief that, “Everyone is brilliant! We have no shortage of brilliance on this planet, just a reluctance to offer it and a resistance to accepting it.”

In her internationally bestselling book, Spontaneous Brilliance, she illuminates the meta meaning of Shakespeare’s assertion that “All the world’s a stage…” with her playful and powerful Metaphorical Metaphysical Guide™ to sharing your unique creative genius in this 24/7 improv on the great stage of life. Available in paperback, kindle, or audiobook on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGSGN979

In 2026, Sandra created The Haven, an innovative membership program and community built on the belief that every person on this planet holds a unique creative genius. The Haven is a true safe haven, a creative home, for individuals from all walks of life to get the mentorship, training, comradery, resources, guidance, and inspiration they need to explore, express, and expand their genius in a welcoming environment that is accepting, affordable, and accessible. landing.spontaneousbrilliance.org

And as the very proud mother of four remarkable daughters, three of which are adoption miracles, Sandra’s personal journey as a mother has made her a fierce advocate for expanded awareness for children in foster care, adoption, children’s mental health, FASD, invisible disabilities, Autism, Neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ rights, and creativity in education.

Whether a screenplay, a play, a story, or a non fiction book, like Spontaneous Brilliance, it springs from something I want to question and explore... something I am intruged by. Writing needs to be fun for me, so it needs to be an idea that I want to play with for a while.(less)

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

The first is attributed to Einstein - "Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing it is stupid." And the second is Shakespeare - As You Like It (Act 2 Sc 7 line 139) "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players...." I believe that everyone, and I really really mean everyone is a unique creative genius, with a passion and purpose they came here to share. And Having spent 35+ years in theater, particularly directing and teaching actors - I have been saying for at least that long "In acting as in life (this) is true" or "In improv as in life (this) is true" And I realized that everything that makes for a successful improv or acting performance on the stage translates as a lesson or technique for a successful life... thus my book Spontaneous Brilliance became my metaphorical metaphysical guide to life.(less)
