About
Exceptional one-on-one coaching for students ages 10-17, focusing on individual strengths while exercising areas of growth. I’ve been coaching high school students for almost ten years and have taught middle school drama for three. My students have gone on to excel in specialized performing arts programs and even gone on to attend such prestigious schools as the Boston Conservatory and Tisch School of the Arts.
I love encouraging young artists to enjoy the work they do, and have fun in working hard!
