Getting into character?
This guided worksheet walks you through a framework I created to provide actors with concrete tools to aid them in developing character. The exercises of The Character Prep Menu are designed to assist in self-guided character exploration and act as a reference point for actors to refine through collaboration and discovery in rehearsal.

More About Me
I am an international actor, director, mentor and theatremaker originally from the American midwest and now based in SE London.
My coaching practice has developed throughout 10+ years experience as a working professional actor, devisor, musical theatre performer, improviser, and even a renaissance faire performer!
I trained in acting and directing at Rose Bruford College (London) where I received an MFA in International Theatre Practice & Performance, and I hold a Bachelors degree in Theatre and Vocal Performance from Cornell College (Iowa.)
In the UK, I assistant teach on Acting For Film /TV courses at Actors Studio London and I've trained at Viewpoints London, and continue to practice with Demidov Studio London.
​​My passion for providing actors with the tools, the empowerment, and the agency required to become flourishing independent creative artists is fueled by my experiences as an actor both in my career and throughout my training. I noticed a severe lack of nurture for the actor's independent creative practice throughout my arts education and extensive actor training. As a professional, I found this lack of nurture to be detrimental when the pressures of the profession began to take over, despite having been a self-driven, independent, and ambitious creative type all my life. It took me years to understand that I alone have the power and responsibility to nurture my own creative practice– that I don't have to wait for anyone else to give me permission. That I can in fact Dare To Act on my own creative dreams. I am constantly learning and expanding my creative process as an actor-creator and seeking to find a balance between artistic fulfillment and my ambition in this industry. And I've found purpose in mentoring others navigating this journey as well.
​
I have long since been interested in the craft of acting and how we work to embody lives that are not our own and yet, at the same time, are so uniquely us. I’m an absolute geek about acting theory and have studied extensively the creation of actor training as we know it stemming from Stanislavsky and his ideas. I am well versed in a number of theories including Stanislavsky, Meisner, Viewpoints, Laban, and have dabbled in Alexander Technique among many other frameworks. My practice is highly influenced by Nikolai Demidov, one of Stanislavsky's contemporaries, and his theories of cultivating true creative freedom in the actor-creator. I am confident my multiple helpful perspectives as an actor, director, and educator can provide you with the guidance, coaching, or nurture you need.
​
​And finally... I just love actors. I love working with actors! I think an actor's storytelling power is a form of magic, and It'd be my greatest honor to support you in developing your magical artistry.
