About
I am passionate about my work. I make sure that every experience I have on set, at an internship, in front of and behind the camera, etc are lesson learning moments. Which means I can take what I've learned and teach other; I pay attention to detail.
Acting is how I express myself and go off into my own world. I love it!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I need to evaluate my students based on what they know or talents they have by challenging them with a piece that is related to what they are trying to do.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been behind the scenes at Chicago Cinespace Film Studios on multiple sets such as Empire and Chicago series (Med/PD/Fire). I've taught acting at StageDoor Manor in New York. I have trained at Chicago Performing Arts Academy and Chicago Actor's Studio. I've been working on perfecting my craft for years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
If a student wants to receive multiple lessons from me, I will set them up on a monthly payment plan with a special deal. If a student just wants one lesson, I will give them a set price. Please contact me for more details.

Children ages 5-18.
