about
who i am
I am a working actor with experience devising, directing, and producing both theatre and film. A graduate of the Trinity Repertory Conservatory with an M.F.A. in Acting, I have spent the last twenty-five years in the industry (AEA, SAG-AFTRA).
For the last nine years I have taught a series of private classes with actors and artists of all backgrounds and levels of experience. I have been a guest artist in graduate and undergraduate programs teaching workshops and master classes. For the last seven years, I have worked as the in-house acting coach for Rosier Artists Management’s (NYC) clients, focusing on scene study, on-camera work, and mentoring.
At nineteen years old, the trajectory of my life changed in a college studio theatre during a production of Romulus Linney’s Holy Ghosts. The neurological disability Tourette Syndrome I lived with since childhood faded as I told this tale of snake handlers. In performance the tics and compulsions steadied and eased. I found calm and freedom of expression. I experienced confidence. I found my space and knew I would spend my life working to help others find theirs. I have been able to utilize my experience and neurodiversity to not only deepen my craft and solidify myself as a working actor, but to share the unique perspective I have gained with my students.
