Teacher expertise and credentials
Growing up as the daughter of a professional film critic in Los Angeles I always knew that I wanted to be an actor. I began stage acting in elementary school, studied for many years through various workshops, college courses, private lessons and coaching, and classically trained as a Shakespearean player. My professional film career began in high school when I appeared on several television shows and movies. I've personally worked with and trained with some of the best actors in Hollywood. I continued working as an actor until becoming a mother when I then made the decision to stay home to raise my 3 kids. I've been teaching all aspects of the performing arts ever since. I hold a BA in Media & Film Studies with a minor in Theater Arts.Reviews
