Acting is about bravery—the kind that lets you step into the spotlight, take up space, and trust that your voice matters. I teach actors to be bold enough to be vulnerable, without breaking them down in the process.
Whether you’re preparing for college auditions, building confidence onstage, or simply looking to deepen your craft, my approach blends serious technique with joy, humor, and just a little bit of magic.
With training rooted in the greats—Stanislavski, Meisner, Hagen, Chekhov—plus movement, voice, and speech work, I help actors develop the skills and the courage to bring their full selves to the stage.

I learned so much from how you give clear respectful feedback.”
