About

(Actors please note: I only work via zoom. Please reach out if this works for you. Serious inquiries only. Thank you!)

I love helping actors do their best work. I am a working actress with a passion for gifting others with the tools I’ve learned at Juilliard and with top coaches in Los Angeles.

I’m from the Bronx, NY. At 10, the acting bug hit me when I did my very first play starring in Pygmalion (the play My Fair Lady is based on) as Eliza Doolittle. I’m so glad cell phones weren’t around then. Haha!

I eventually when on the study at LaGuardia HS of the Performing Arts (the “Fame” School). A guidance counselor advised me that since “no one from here” has even gotten in to LaGuardia, I shouldn’t bother to apply. I wound up only applying to LaGuardia. And the entire school celebrated when I got in ???

After getting my BA in Psychology, I went to Juilliard on a full, merit-based, scholarship (which I got solely from my audition). I have since gone back to Juilliard to guest teach on my work in August Wilson plays, for which I have received Ovation and LA Drama Critics Circle Awards. I most recently won an LADCC Award for Best Leading Performance (I tied with Bryan Cranston) for my work in Blues for An Alabama Sky at the Mark Taper forum directed by Phylicia Rashad. Feel free to check out my body of tv and film work on IMDb.

Let me help you with exercises to calm nerves and activate your instincts. I believe acting should be fun! It should be approached with a spirit of openness and curiosity. After all, we are “playing” and it is make-believe, no? So let’s play :??‍♂️???⭐️

As a working actress, my time is limited, so I only only work with a limited number of clients a week. Please only reach out if you’re ready to start with private lessons. (I’ll get a fee from this app for every inquiry). We can start with a free 5-10 minute consultation. So I get get a better idea for how I can guide you. We can see if we’re a fit.

If you’re ready to play, I’d be thrilled to help with auditions, acting school submissions, character development and monologue preparations. Or we can simply work to sharpen your skills with weekly sessions. I am also willing to offer any career advice I may have. Let me demystify the “process” of acting. Let me help you develop your own toolbox you can begin using immediately.

I am available in-person and online.

Here’s to being the best actors you can be! Break legs…
