MY STORY

In 1999, I stepped onto a performance stage for the first time as an instrumentalist and my life was changed forever.  Since that time, my passion has been creating stories that connect with my audience.  In 2006, I began teaching acting and speaking in San Antonio, and brought the same education to Houston in 2008.  I took my love of connection and performance into my career, becoming a trial attorney in Texas, getting to tell the stories of victims in more than 50 jury trials.  In 2012, I joined a chorus and realized that acting was not only for the theatre stage.  True connections can occur with any audience, with any story.  In 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic, I began to teach virtually, creating several virtual masterclasses on universal topics of acting, performance, and showmanship.

Now, I am excited to continue to share my passion with all performers: actors, singers, speakers, and anyone who has ever desired to connect through their art.  Real, honest storytelling can touch the lives of countless individuals, just as it did for me.
