Currently I am an adjunct Theatre Faculty member at Metropolitan Community College-Longview in Kansas City, MO, where I teach public speaking and as a Teaching Artist with The Coterie. I hold an M.F.A. in Acting and Directing from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and a Postgraduate Diploma in Classical Acting from the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts.

​

I have extensive training in acting, voice, and movement techniques, including Stanislavsky, Meisner, Linklater, and Laban Movement Efforts and am working toward certification in Fitzmaurice Voice and Colaianni Speechwork. Additionally I'm taking classes to become certified in Seven Pillars Acting Technique.

​

I have taught various theatre courses such as Introduction to Acting, Oral Interpretation of Literature, and Beginning Directing. My teaching emphasizes practical application of skills in acting, public speaking, and directing. In addition to academic roles, I have also led workshops on public speaking around Kansas City.

​

I am a proud VASTA and ATHE member and have been lucky enough to work professionally as an actor across the United States.
