As a working actor I have always felt compelled to pass on the wisdom I gained inside the industry and within the art form.

I graduated from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in Hollywood, CA with a Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) in Acting for Musical Theater and Film. I continued my training at the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) for improv and took scene study classes from top studios in Los Angeles.

I began my teaching career soon after college at The Young Actors Studio by teaching young children improvisation basics. Soon after I expanded my teaching by offering scene study and advanced improv workshops at various schools and theater companies throughout Los Angeles.

With a passion for theater I was accepted as a member in the acting company at Theatre of NOTE and at Echo Theater Company. There I learned to cast, produce, and direct new and original plays. Having starred on stage for both companies and for productions at Casa 0101 and The Centre Theater Group, I developed a talent for script development and earned an internship at Citizen Skull Productions. Through reviewing hundreds of scripts I learned about character development and the process of turning a script into a production. During my tenure in Los Angeles I also starred in various commercials and independent films but my heart always belonged to the stage and to forming the next generation of actors.
