MY STORY

In 1999, I stepped onto a performance stage for the first time as an instrumentalist, and my life was changed forever. Since then, my passion has been to create stories that connect with my audience. In 2006, I began teaching acting and speaking in San Antonio, and extended the same education to Houston in 2008. I integrated my love for connection and performance into my career, becoming a trial attorney in Texas, where I had the opportunity to narrate the stories of victims in over 50 jury trials. In 2012, I joined a chorus and realized that acting wasn't solely for the theatre stage. True connections can occur with any audience, with any story. In 2020, amidst the global pandemic, I began teaching virtually, creating several masterclasses on universal topics of acting, performance, and showmanship.
Now, I am excited to continue sharing my passion with all performers: actors, singers, speakers, and anyone who has ever desired to connect through their art. Genuine, honest storytelling can touch the lives of countless individuals, just as it has for me.
