About

I love working with people and studying the craft of acting. I truly enjoy teaching as well as learning from my students as we embody characters, and jump into the world of the play. Creating a character and make-believe is incredibly fun!

I earned my MFA in acting from the DePaul Theater School. SInce then I have worked with a number of theaters in Chicago including Steppenwolf, Second City, The Raven Theater, and Playmakers Laboratory.

I have appeared on Chicago PD, 61st Street, True Blood, and also have my own film company.

Most importantly, I have taught acting and creative writing to young people and high school students for over 12 years and truly enjoy it.

    Frequently asked questions

    I love to start things off by briefly telling students a little bit about myself. How I got into the arts, my education, and other things I love to do. And then take a few minutes to find out about them. Their interest. What draws them to acting.

    After that is established, I like to jump right in with some acting warmups. I truly believe acting is doing. So spending time actually doing and building the foundation of acting. I'm a big fan of taking some time to talk about technique and different teachers who have laid the groundwork for modern acting. And of course, finishing things off with homework. A fun assignment to work on and bring back for the next class.
