Marla

Marla has many accomplishments to her credit.  Her earliest love was dancing, where she studied at the Alvin Ailey School in NYC and was a founding member of Long Island’s Dance Theatre Eclectic.  Next step was raising a family, her biggest life goal, and along with her husband Mitch, bringing two amazing children, Megan and Ryan, into the world. Then back to college, for her undergraduate studies at Hofstra University and then onto graduate school at Queens College where she shined as her class Valedictorian, going on to a rewarding career in school psychology.  Next stop was her development as a gifted photographer, shooting pictures of everything from weddings to waterfalls.  Today she is developing her style with her jazz piano.  And through it all she also is an accomplished songwriter.  To those that know Marla personally her best quality is the person she is, kind and loving to everyone around her.
