Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We chat about your goals to see if we are a good fit! Then make a plan for your first lesson to get started on the work. If we are not a fit, I have many recommendations for various Acting studios in the area! I'm here to help.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a BFA in Acting from Long Island University as well as my MFA in Theatre Performance from Arizona State University. I have also trained with the Uta Hagen Teacher Training Lab, Anne Bogart/SITI Company, Frantic Assembly, Tectonic Theater Project, Vagabond School of the Arts, Black Box Acting, and Monica Payne. My experience expands from 10+ years worth of stage and on-camera work.
