WHY I COACH – As a young performer I remember the Mentors, Coaches and Teachers that saw a creative spark in me and took me under their wing. They nurtured that spark into a fire and guided my passion into a career. Their influence honed my skills, gave me confidence, and not only made me a better artist, but a better Human Being. I love the thought of being that for young performers. Learning the ins and outs of the business is valuable as kids grow up in this industry. It helps to become a more well-rounded actor, a versatile artist, and a savvy worker navigating an industry that isn’t easy. But more importantly, it teaches confidence, pride, an owning of one’s own power, the courage to never dim your own light, and shine bright as you walk through this world as a creative soul. THAT is why I coach.
