About
I’ve been performing from age 4 and continued through college and ended up with a Masters in Acting. As a performer in LA I have acted in national commercials, plays and films.
After a lifetime of performance I’ve discovered that art is about feeling but great art takes thought and skill. The “work” of acting. I’ll show you how to find the balance between head and heart so that you can learn to “Let it out” but also grow in skill and understanding.
I love helping people get better at what they are passionate about. Mastering acting is a life long process but if you love performance as much as do I hope we can achieve new heights together.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Usually I will have a student come in with a monologue and show me their work. If there is a script they want to work on for an audition, I’ll have them bring it in and we can explore it together.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my Bachelors degree in Theater from the University of California Irvine. I have a Masters degree from the California Institute of the Arts. For years I performed in plays, films, commercial, and online video in Los Angeles and Hollywood. I have taught multiple classes for performance to youth and young adults in various schools throughout Southern California. I have also directed actors in more than half a dozen theater, film, and video projects.
