I have a BFA in Acting from Boston University. I am a working television actress in Los Angeles and coach actors. I have years of experience working one on one with clients to help them to succeed in their careers. I help my students to achieve their goals and give them the tools they need to feel confident in their work. I love to help people to get organized and create a game plan for achieving their goals. Their success feels like my success.

I studied Spanish for twelve years and am confident that I can assist those studying the language. I started in first grade and studied it through AP5 my senior year of college. I also play the flute and studied the flute for 9 years as a child. I am a classically trained actor and have a great knowledge of plays by William Shakespeare. I have read almost all of them and worked on many.

I have worked with children as a sports counselor and as a drama teacher. I have helped middle school students to write and perform their own shows. I am great with accountability and encouraging my students to continue moving forward. I believe that small actions lead to big wins.

If we are to work together, I will need to see your assignments or lessons ahead of our sessions. I want to benefit my students as much as possible and be as familiar with the work as I can.

I have worked with kids as a camp counselor, a coach and as a drama teacher. I have helped 6th graders to write, produce and perform in their own shows. I love watching kids find the joy of theatre. Watching someone discover their passion is a gift. I am patient and kind. I will move at the pace of my student and help guide them to the correct answers. I am an excellent writer and love to read. I am great with numbers and some science too. As an actor I love story telling and also am fascinated with history.

I studied Spanish for twelve years from age 5 - 18. I finished my senior year of high school with a high score on my AP5 exam. I still speak it and have had to audition and act in Spanish as well.

Public Speaking

I have a BFA in Acting from Boston University. I am a working actor on stage, television and in film. My career is based around speaking in public. I have trained in Linklater for Voice and Speech and with The Alexander Technique. I have countless tools to help people to annunciate, breathe properly and use their body in a beneficial way when speaking. I can help with nerves and give you the confidence to conquer your next speech. Because of my 20+ years of acting on stage, I can help with projecting and garnering the attention of your intended audience.
