As an acting teacher, I have taught courses in Acting Process, Meisner, Voice and Speech, Solo Performance, Healthcare Simulation, and Auditioning. I continue to train with renowned voice and presence teacher Patsy Rodenburg, OBE, the Emeritus Director of Voice at the Royal Shakespeare Company.  As a Meisner teacher, I am also grateful to have studied with Terry Knickerbocker at TK Studio in NYC, and I completed my Meisner Teaching Certification at the True Acting Institute.  Over the last few years, I have partnered with the Rehabilitation Sciences Department at Moravian University developing a Standardized Patient program for Muhlenberg actors to collaborate with Moravian healthcare students in order to promote greater compassion, communication, and empathy throughout the world of healthcare.

Whether through scene and monologue study, ensemble development, or audition preparation, I try to establish an environment that encourages discovery, curiosity, collaboration and possibilities. For me, all of these celebrate a common thread of building connections through our shared humanity – seeking to be truly present with one another and within ourselves, listening and responding actively moment-to-moment, and embracing the magic of the Here and Now with the trust that “You Are Enough.”
