About
Greetings! Congratulations on your interest in honing your craft as a performer and creative artist! As in any form of strength training, your acting and audition skills require consistent exercise to produce strong performances. I work individually with a limited number of dedicated performers who are committed to developing their acting skills.

Regardless of your experience level, our sessions will be personalized and enjoyable. We will begin where you are most comfortable and work towards enhancing your confidence and technique as a performer through script analysis, character development, emotional tools, pacing, and more. We will also touch on the technical side of acting, such as headshots, agent relationships, self-tapes, audition techniques, on-camera skills, and industry nuances.

As a working actor myself with years of Los Angeles training, my aim is to help you develop your own "emotional tool belt" and create authentic, confident, and role-booking work. If you have a specific role or audition in mind, I am available to assist with character development and rehearsing.

A little bit about me: I have been pursuing my passion for creating art on stage and on camera since the age of 7. I have six seasons of experience on ABC's Fresh Off the Boat, appeared on NBC's The Jay Leno Show, and have performed in numerous national commercials and stage shows. I bring experience, talent, and professionalism to all my coaching sessions and remain up-to-date with current audition standards, self-tape techniques, and performance styles. I am a proud member of the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA.

I enjoy helping creatives achieve their artistic goals and look forward to strengthening your techniques and getting you booked!

My coach, Colleen, is exceptional and undoubtedly suitable for you as well. Her versatility, proactivity, supportiveness, extensive knowledge, plan-oriented approach, and sheer brilliance make her outstanding. She excels at adjusting the necessary aspects and generating inventive ideas that distinguish oneself in an audition. Everyone would be extremely fortunate to have her as a coach.

In a mere two sessions, I am already sensing that I am no longer a novice in acting. Thanks to her assistance, I have been able to identify various character types and gained valuable insights into the industry. Additionally, my ability to create self-tapes has been refined. Don't hesitate any longer, register for her services today. I assure you, it will be a decision you won't regret.
