Teaches: Youth Acting and Musical Theater
Theatre has always been my passion- a place where imagination, curiosity, and connection come alive. My journey through acting has been filled with the joy of stepping into different worlds, discovering new characters, and learning something about myself along the way. I believe the best actors never stop being curious, and that every experience, both onstage and off, becomes part of the storyteller we grow into. Acting has given me a wonderful sense of play, courage, and community, and those are the qualities I love sharing with young performers.
My classes are energetic, supportive, and rooted in play. I want students to feel safe enough to take risks, make big choices, be silly, and discover what makes their voice unique. We might explore character, movement, improvisation, scene work or storytelling, but underneath it all is the goal of building confidence and genuine connection. I structure each class so there’s room to learn, laugh, and challenge ourselves without fear of getting it “wrong.” For me, teaching isn’t about creating perfect performersit’s about helping young people become brave, expressive, collaborative humans who love the process of creating.
