Hello! I am a former English, ESL, and French teacher turned writer, actor, producer, and creative consultant. After studying Secondary Education and finishing my practicum at the University of Nevada, I graduated with a degree in French and spent the next year in the classroom as an ESL teacher in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, France, working with students in full classrooms, small study groups, and one on one test prep. I have worked as a Substitute Teacher for the Washoe County School District and for the Los Angeles Unified School District for over 7 years in total, subbing both short and long-term assignments at the high school and elementary school levels, including working as the primary teacher for remedial first grade math and reading.

In addition to being an educator, I am an actor with credits in film, television, and theater, and a screenwriter and producer with development experience for major studios, international streaming platforms, independent production companies, and freelance artists. I have worked all stages of film and television production, from creative development to production to post-production to release and distribution.

I'm excited to work one on one with students to help them improve their understanding and confidence in their schoolwork. My pedagogy is based in a student-first approach. I meet students at their level and provide them the support that they need to become the experts in their subjects. Feel free to reach out with any questions or for any additional info!

Approved Subjects

Acting

Acting

I came to LA in 2011 to act in my first film and have since built a career in film and television production, acting in independent movies, network television shows, theater productions, and more. I am also a voice actor with a home studio and have provided voiceover and dubbing for multiple films and television shows. I work with actors of all ages to give an experienced perspective on various approaches to performance as well as the technical aspects of recording audio for voice acting and video for self tapes.
Writing

Writing

I am a screenwriter specializing in TV comedy, with additional screenwriting experience in drama, action, and feature films. I was formerly an ESL teacher in France and worked with students one on one to help them prepare for their written English exams. For high school students, I generally teach the Schaffer Method for basic essay writing, while adapting to the specific requirements set forth by a student's teacher or the general expectations of the subject matter. I have also written fiction and creative nonfiction, and am excited to help students of all ages achieve their writing goals!
