Teaching Approach:

Hi, I am an extensively trained actor and Drama teacher and in a one on one session I know that I can help you to unleash the very best potentialities within you when portraying your character in a performance or for an important audition.

I have trained and still train in Meisner, Adler and Strasberg’s techniques and through working on the monologue or on any specific acting problem you may have, I believe that you can attain the highest levels of success in your craft and find your true place and confidence in your sense of vocation as an actor.

I have received an excellent education myself and therefore know its level of importance.

Also, with the help of my mentors, I was able to achieve a 'fully outstanding' award for my professional 'Teacher training'.

I am grateful to those who hire me to help them succeed.

I truly enjoy helping others to achieve their goals!

Thank you.
