About
I have a degree in theatre and I’m currently working on my second degree in theatre. I teach at the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre and I have tons of acting experience. I have worked with people on Broadway and I run a small theatre troupe.
I love teaching. It is amazing to see students finally get something after trying hard, that feeling is something all teachers love.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start my first lesson with a new student as a getting-to-know-you lesson, asking what plays they have read and enjoyed, seeing the expectations of me, and working on developing a system of trust that is needed when working on theatre.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in Dramatic Arts and I am getting a degree in Acting currently. I have done training scenarios, improv, plays, movies, musicals, and I have taught people how to do so. I have directed and worked with Broadway actors and I run a small theatre troupe.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I usually charge $15 an hour, although I do often make exceptions for people who need it.
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring my freshman year of college, I tutored so much that people eventually asked me to teach them outside of class.
What types of students have you worked with?
My youngest student is 7 years old and my oldest is 35. I work with anybody who is willing to learn.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my students goes to UCF and she recently auditioned for the BFA Acting Program and got in. She got the email during our lesson and she was super happy.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
A lot of acting teachers, because it is a common dream, are scams. Unfortunely, that's true. So I would be careful with who you trust, don't go to someone who isn't worth their salt.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What type of acting do you want to do? How much of your time is dedicated to rehearsal? Are you willing to work hard for acting?
