About
I help you shine. I have been teaching acting for over 15 years and have helped hundreds of kids and adults learn to act, build confidence and express themselves passionately. I help both beginners and experienced actors reach their full potential. I'm a stage and film actress myself and a singer. I have a degree in Theatre, a Masters in Education, a New York State Professional teaching certification and years of additional training in different styles of performance. I give you the tools to master expression, imrov, monologues, auditioning and scene study work. I will help you step into your spotlight.
I'm so passionate about the work I do because acting is not only an art but it also helps you grow as a person. Acting helps us make radical shifts in our confidence and how we connect to ourselves and others. It blows my mind the transformations I see my clients make when I teach them acting.

How did you get started teaching?
I knew when I was as in college training as an actress that I wanted to teach it because of the personal growth I saw in my peers, not just as actors but as people. I loved acting but I was also mesmerized by the way I saw it change people's lives in my classes. I also had a nack for helping other acting students with their monologues when preparing for auditions and was often told I should teach it. Then when I was in an acting troupe I started leading workshops and discovered how much I loved sharing my passion with others and helping them the way that acting helped me.
