I am currently the Assistant Professor of Voice & Speech at the University of Minnesota Duluth, where I teach the full voice progression for the BFA Acting program, along with courses in acting, auditioning, and movement.  Previously, I've taught at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the University of Central Missouri, Metropolitan Community College-Longview, and 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. I am certified in Seven Pillars Acting Technique and Colaianni Speechwork, and am working toward certification in Fitzmaurice Voice. 

​

I have taught various theatre courses across voice, movement, and acting. My teaching emphasizes applying skills in acting, public speaking, and directing. In addition to academic roles, I have also led workshops on public speaking and dialect coaching 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.
