Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an award-winning professional actor with experience in theater, film, and television. I’m also a longtime member of SAG-AFTRA and have trained extensively in scene study, voice, character development, and improvisation.
I’ve been teaching acting on Outschool since 2020, and have worked with young performers ages 8–17 in both group and one-on-one settings. My classes are designed to be inclusive, confidence-building, and technique-focused, while still being fun and creatively engaging.
In addition to acting, I bring years of experience as an educator, artist, and mother of two. I love helping learners discover their unique voice, grow their expressive range, and feel proud of their progress — whether they’re new to acting or already passionate about performing.Reviews
