We'll use a variety of acting techniques to suit your specific needs, depending on the type of the material you want to work with.

As a teacher I want to help you find your own way, your own voice, and bring your power and talents to the surface.

Using my experience behind and in front of the camera, as a teacher, life coach and inspirational speaker, I want to help you be the best you can be and achieve your goals.
