I’m a voice & dialect coach, music director, violinist, and theatre educator specializing in actor training, stage directing, and Shakespeare text and performance.
I received my BA in Acting from Brigham Young University, and my MFA from the Old Globe & University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program.
I wasn't kidding about the boat...
I’ve taught students from diverse locations and life circumstances: graduate students, returning students, international students, local community members, and recent high school graduates. I teach acting and voice for San Diego Mesa College, and have directed musical theatre workshops, student-written plays, bilingual productions, cabaret fundraisers, full-length musicals, and experimental Shakespeare projects.
I’ve worked with numerous theatre companies and private clients in San Diego and beyond. Currently, I teach voice and speech for The Old Globe & University of San Diego Shiley Graduate Theatre Program.
Whether a student enters my classroom to connect with others, overcome stage fright, improve their English, learn a dialect, prepare for auditions, or train for a professional career in stage and film, my goal is the same: to create a safe and empowering educational environment in which their talents and abilities can grow and thrive.
