About
Being a former actress and now writer, producer, director of my film company ACE Films I teach the artist new ways of perfecting their craft. I've been a SAG/AFTRA actress for 22 years and now share that gift by teaching actors not only for casting opportunities but for my projects as well. With a BA Degree in Theatre Arts and Film, I have the experience, training, and connections that will boost your career to the next level.

How did you get started teaching?
I have a natural ability to teach others what I know through classes and workshops.

Beginners, professionals, models, dancers, actors, singers. My youngest student was 8 years old. My oldest student is 68 years old. Many of my students have landed lead roles after coaching with me. Shows like: Madam Secretary, Gotham, Law & Order SVU.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
After coaching my 9-year-old actor she was on Madam Secretary and had many auditions. She's doing quite well. And starred in my most recent film Finding Nora.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Always ask the teacher questions regarding your field of study. What you want to get from the class. Build a relationship with your teacher to get the best from the class. If you don't see it on their list of what they teach ask them if they can do what you need that's not on their list.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What field are you interested in, Film, TV or Stage? What tools do you have? ie headshots, business cards, monologue, an upcoming production
