The Acting Loft

Acting has been a part of my life since the age of eleven. I played a munchkin in "The Wizard of Oz", and I cannot imagine my life without this creative outlet. In addition to countless community and professional endeavors, I graduated from Point Park Universities Conservatory of Performing Arts with a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre Arts. I have lived in New York City with professional management through Maude Kaplan Management and The National Comedy Theatre. Years later, I opened my own community theatre as Artistic Director for six years before passing the torch. My time with the theatre allowed me to direct countless productions and lead various acting workshops to a wide range of students. Currently, I reside in Saint Petersburg Florida and am represented by Level Talent Group and Tin Pan Alley Talent Agency. I also am Artistic Director/Booking Agent for Tin Pan Alley Productions. I am a hands on instructor with a passion to see my students succeed.

Years of experience on stage, off stage and behind the scenes has given me a well rounded approach to teaching. I absolutely find joy in watching students emerge from their shell. Breaking free to be born again, character after character, allows a unique way to engage in healthy relationships and recognize emotion. The arts are therapy for the soul.

"I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.“
