About
Whether you are getting ready for a big audition, deepening your technique and repertoire or looking to make that next step in choosing a program to train in, I can help you from start to finish. I am patient and tough, you will come out of coaching with me feeling like a more prepared and confident performer.
I LOVE actors and students. They are my favorite people. Any time I can get into a room and delve into great texts I am a happy camper.
I have taught theater professionally for eight years now, at colleges and high schools and with one-on-one coaching
