As a multi-hyphenate creator and storyteller, I have two decades' worth of experience on stage and screen. I have always had a natural passion for discovering what keeps a person motivated, goal setting, and resilience.

As I began booking commercial and print jobs after graduating college, I began to hone the skills needed to be a working actor. Of course, training served me for the craft of acting itself, but the grind and hustle of being an actor, a freelancer, a business (that at times wasn't making a living business wage) was something that wasn't learned at school. Now going into my third decade of being a working actor, I’m able to effectively combine the craft and art with the business side. The blending of these two fundamental values is something that I strive to bring in my own teaching and coaching of students and clients. 

I have taught at a variety of organizations (San Diego Junior Theatre, Playwrights Project, SDWI, O'Farrell Charter School, ZACH Theatre). I also have experience working in the SPED department and with populations with different learning disabilities. While working with these organizations, I gained experience working with underserved, underrepresented populations as well as incarcerated youth and adults, using storytelling and art to heal and create community connections. I have spoken or moderated workshops at various community college arts classes, WIFT Austin, Network Austin Mixer, AARC, and ZACH Theatre. As a private acting coach, I focus on exactly what each individual artist needs (ie. self-taping, commercial auditions, monologues, mindset, and resiliency). My clients have received callbacks at prestigious institutions (such as Carnegie Mellon) and for major network series. I have helped young adults put together audition packages for college programs, and I have former students studying at Juilliard, TCU, Chapman University, and UNSCA to name a few. 

I have always strived to bring empathy, compassion, and boldness to anything that I work on. Currently, I am writing a couple of stage plays and a comedy series about pickleball. In addition to a few running commercials, you can catch me on UnHUMAN (streaming on Amazon Prime) and in Robert Rodriguez's latest film, Hypnotic (starring Ben Affleck and Alice Braga), which was screened at SXSW and Cannes. On Fire, which had a world premiere at the Mammoth Film Festival is available now. The latest short film I worked on Reverie is currently having a very successful festival run.
