One on One Lessons

In these lessons, we focus on developing confidence, curiosity, and strong technical foundations, while always keeping artistry and joy at the center.

I offer personalized coaching in acting, singing, piano, college audition preparation, and general performance training. Every lesson is tailored to meet the student’s goals - whether that’s auditioning for a dream role, building musicianship, or preparing for a competitive college program. Together, we’ll explore material that feels true to who you are, strengthen your technique, and find the connection between your craft and your authentic voice.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in collaboration and empowerment. I believe that growth comes from a balance of structure and play, and that artists thrive when they feel seen and supported. Lessons are welcoming spaces where students can take risks, ask questions, and discover the stories they’re meant to tell. Many of my students have gone on to work professionally in theatre, music, and performance - but more importantly, they leave with a deeper sense of confidence and self-expression that carries into every area of their lives.

Masterclasses

I love the energy that comes from a room full of artists learning together. My masterclasses blend professional training with a focus on connection, creativity, and courage -  because the best performances begin with authenticity.

One of my favorite offerings, Mastering the College Audition, helps high school performers approach the audition process with clarity and confidence. I’ve had the joy of presenting this workshop at the Illinois High School Theatre Festival and for Broadway in Chicago’s Illinois High School Musical Theatre Awards, guiding students through how to choose material, prepare for prescreens, and show up fully as themselves in the room.

Beyond college prep, I also design custom masterclasses for schools, theatre companies, and community programs that focus on singing technique, performance technique, character development, and artistic storytelling. Whether it’s a group of first-time performers or seasoned artists, my goal is always the same: to spark joy in the process and remind every participant that their voice and story have power.

The path to a creative career can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help early-career artists find clarity, confidence, and direction in their professional journey. From audition strategy and portfolio development to managing self-doubt and building sustainable routines, we’ll identify your goals and create an action plan that feels both grounded and exciting. My approach blends practical tools with emotional support, so you can grow your career in alignment with your artistry.
