Inspire. Engage. Challenge.
In the challenging world of theatre, television, and film, being a multi-disciplinary artist can help secure an artist’s longevity in an ever-evolving industry. My career has been enriched by studying and utilizing the skills I’ve obtained in acting, directing, and writing, along with dialect coaching and producing. With over a decade of teaching at the university level, I’ve seen firsthand how embracing diverse artistic skills empowers students to achieve remarkable careers, from landing supporting and leading roles in theatre, television, and film to running their acting studios to becoming staff writers for major television shows to penning plays being produced nationwide. These outcomes underscore the value of versatility I practice and teach.
