I have been a professional union actress and teaching artist for over 10 years. As an educator, I have worked with students across the country to develop their acting skills, public speaking, voice and speech, reading comprehension, Shakespeare, and musical ability. I have taught in school residencies, summer camps, private lessons, and directed productions. Currently, I serve as the Education Director of a local theatre where we are building a professional level training academy for Musical Theatre students. I have special training and experience with Shakeapeare, historical speeches, commedia dell'arte, auditioning, monologues, and story telling through the song.
As an actor, I have worked at such prestigious regional theatres as Ford's Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, Shakespeare Theatre Company, and Olney Theatre Center. I have had the pleasure to work on and off stage with well-known theatre artists including Jeff Calhoun, Nancy Opel, Javier Munoz, and Leigh Silverman. I bring this experience and variety of voices and experiences to my work with my students.
I am trained in Stanislavsky and Viewpoints techniques, but have studied many others. I believe firmly in exposing my students to as many methods as possible so they have all the tools at their disposal to make the best performance they can offer.
I have worked with students across the country on dissecting, understanding, interpreting, and performing famous historical speeches and first person narratives on stage at Ford's Theatre. Whether you are doing a presentation or oral exam in front of your class, or delivering a keynote address - the skills required remain the same and I can provide the techniques to build the best performance you can.
