Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first session will be learning each other's expectations, setting goals, making a comprehensive, realistic, and sustainable plan. Within our first meeting, we will talk over what you need. I'll help you with daily steps to get to your goals. Typically this can be a 30 minute to an hour long discussion but let's decide how long you have beforehand and I will do my best to work with your schedule! If you just need a fitness plan or perhaps an audition reader, then just let me know as much details as possible beforehand so we can use our time effectively.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm certified with NASM the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
Bachelor's Degree in Media Communications, Second Bachelors in Film Acting.

How did you get started teaching?
My job is to help you achieve your goals! We start by setting expectations, talking about the latest fitness studies, or realistic career goals and what is sustainable to reach them. Then, we will be actionable steps towards those goals. Together, either daily or weekly according to what that plan is that we decide upon, we will achieve your goals!
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with people of all ages! My youngest client was 5 and my oldest client is currently 75!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have several! Two clients of mine recently got off of their Type 2 diabetes medications and are now stable in health. One overcame a kidney disease through fitness training with me with 5 months. Another, after 3 months with me, can now pick up her young child whereas before she started training with me, she could not help her child. One acting client just booked a TV show on CW! Another stated that because of the encouragement and success from coaching, they have decided to pursue acting as a career instead of a hobby!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain it takes to change.
Acting is learning how to be naturally living within imaginary circumstances. Never ever give up. You could be just one day away from the biggest opportunity in your life.
Acting is simple but it's not easy.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are your goals? Are they going to be tangible when you achieve them? What is the biggest "Why" or motivation behind your goals? What are you willing to do to get your goals? What are your expectations for coaching? Be ready to talk about your goals so we can formulate a plan for them!
