Hi! I'm Celia, and I graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in Drama & Theatre Arts, with both departmental and college-wide awards for excellence in the dramatic arts. I have 8 years of experience working with actors to help them achieve their full potential onstage, in one-on-one and group settings, as a director and as a coach. Alongside my artistic career, I have worked in corporate, non-profit, and higher ed spaces, witnessing firsthand how many professionals could benefit from theatrical training.

Confidence is the key that will unlock opportunities in your life. Whether you are preparing for a presentation at the office or at school, interviewing for your dream job or college, pitching to investors, giving the toast at your best friend's wedding, looking to ace your big audition, or even planning a high-stakes conversation, like asking for a raise or asking your roommate to move out, you need confidence to succeed. Using tried and true methods of actor training, I offer expert, personalized coaching to make sure you walk into these situations prepared, confident, and even excited.

Your first session begins with 10-15 minutes of chatting for me to get to know you and what your needs are. Then, we jump into training your body, voice, and mind, with an approach to actor training chosen specifically for you.

In addition to one-off, situation-specific sessions, I always welcome long-term students. With regular sessions, you will become a confident, skilled public speaker with the power to level up your life!

If you have written materials for your session (such as a speech, presentation notes, etc.), please send them to me at least two hours in advance. If you need support writing or editing your materials, please let me know, so we can schedule an additional session to work on them together.

If you're not sure if I can help you, please reach out explaining what you're looking for, and we can go from there! I am always happy to answer questions and provide more information!
