She attended the University of Chicago for one year and then transferred to Brown, where she was involved in theatre and dance troupes and majored in Semiotics. After graduating in 1979, Debbie lived in South Providence for a year before moving to New York to pursue acting. While in New York Debbie had a small part in \u201cAll My Children\u201d then went on to work in the public affairs department at the Guggenheim Museum. Soon thereafter Debbie worked on Wall Street and eventually quit to raise her three children. Twelve years ago Debbie started doing voiceover work, something she has come to love and believes is her true passion.
