“Be brave enough to find the life you want and courageous enough to chase it. This is fiery red head, Beverly Baker.”

It is me – I live this every day.  Whether it’s running a successful, award winning software consulting firm; auditioning for shows or performing on stage; owning and managing a dance studio in San Diego; restoring and renovating old homes; or running charity events for the Dawn Brejcha Foundation, I go after everything with passion and unquestionable commitment.

Born and raised in Kansas to be a strong and independent woman, I knew early on that I had a bit of a gypsy spirit. I left my home and family to attend college at the University of Chicago.  A life-long lover of the arts, I moved to Nashville after graduation to pursue a singing career.  From there, life took me to San Diego, where I started my own software consulting firm and began performing professionally in the rich local theatre scene.  After 15 years I knew it was time to head to the center of it all…… so….. I packed my bags and moved to New York City. You can follow all of my city adventures using the hashtag #buffyinthebigpotato (I know my fellow Golden Girls fans will get that!)…… can’t wait to connect with you all!

I am a Golden Girls and Mysteries at the Museum fanatic; a lover of strong coffee, red wine, sushi and Broadway shows; and a voracious reader (give me anything from Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Series or the latest John Grisham or James Patterson novel, and I’ll have the book read in a day). I love solving puzzles – in my job, my life or for fun…. and take pride in my ability to think outside of the box. Everything has a solution – you just have to look for it.
