I am a 22-year old acting coach, theater artist, and a recent graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Drama and a minor in Educational Theatre. Specializing in theater, I work with actors, ages 16-27, with a focus on audition prep, monologue coaching, college audition materials, and scene study. My coaching style emphasizes truthful storytelling, strong text analysis, and confidence-building to help emerging performers grow as artists and storytellers.
"Amazing personality and role model

Drawing upon my 20+ years of experience as a professional actor, extensive theatrical training, and nearly 10 years as an acting teacher, I construct personalized approaches to the craft for each artist. Grounded in a Meisner framework, I help you identify your strengths + work with you to strengthen areas you may struggle in. It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or have been doing this forever, I can guide you toward truthful, imaginative + spontaneous performances.



My love Acting came to me and my youth, and I started working professionally in commercials at a young age. Decades later, I’m still working. My abilities come from not only being certified from Ivana Chubbuck and working in her studio as an Acting Coach, but I have also worked other programs internationally with Hollywood Immersive and Casting Director Mark Tillman. I’ve taught all ages from 3 years old to 90 years old. I enjoy teaching online classes with individuals or group groups.
