Explore my website for reels, galleries, reviews, and resumes highlighting my professional acting and teaching work over the years. Then head over to my Private Lessons page to learn about taking online acting lessons / audition coaching. I also offer LAMDA Exams learners of all ages private lessons using the Communication and Performance syllabi through the LAMDA Exams framework.
As a creative, I research, write, and produce theatrical work linking the past to the present. The first such work, My Dead: An Immigrant’s Story, utilizes journal entries, autobiographies, and letters to ask the question “Do you know your dead?” My Dead: An Immigrant’s Story is available for performance bookings.
Other work in development includes: All We Like Sheep – a radical adaptation of Lope de Vega’s Fuente Ovejuna exploring a 2024 French court case and the capability of a single woman to change society, and Old Friends – a two-hander rom-com where the past has the unexpected possibility of creating a beautiful future.
