My Mission
I am committed to building my regional theatre and commercial acting career in Southern California, and helping as many people as I can in my work as a coach through my company, Poised & Professional. My personal motto is "Do what you love and help others." Follow me on Instagram to see how I try to uphold this - every day!
"Anyone can make a difference, and everyone should try."

Currently Working On:
Becoming the best version of myself in quarantine! Taking an online Shakespeare class with Liz Shipman, taking Jazz & Ballet classes, and reading as many books as possible to deepen my acting craft. Also: updating my materials (new headshots!) and refining my book.
