"I am an experienced educator and facilitator with over a decade of experience guiding learners of all ages, from children to adults. I hold an MPhil in Human Ecology from College of the Atlantic and a B.A. in Theater from Occidental College. I am also a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Wilderness First Responder, and a 200-hour Certified Yoga Instructor, which allows me to integrate mindfulness, movement, and experiential learning into my teaching.

I have acted professionally in film and theater for over a decade, with experience in both ensemble and lead roles. I also have training in improvisation, stage combat, voice, and accents, and I have taught acting to students of all ages in workshops, camps, and one-on-one coaching. I focus on helping students develop confidence, stage presence, and expressive skills while providing practical tools for character development and performance. My approach is hands-on, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals.

I have taught students in classroom settings, one-on-one sessions, small groups, and immersive multi-day programs, with learners ranging from age 6 to 68. I tutor basic math and science through 10th grade, as well as reading, writing, and creative expression. My specialty is helping students develop the skills to become more capable, independent learners. I focus on strategies for problem-solving, self-confidence, and curiosity, while adapting lessons to each student’s style and pace.

My approach is interactive and student-centered. I use hands-on activities and real-world examples to make learning engaging and memorable. Whether helping a student tackle algebra, understand scientific concepts, or improve study habits, my goal is always to empower learners to gain mastery, confidence, and a love of learning. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to explore, ask questions, and take ownership of their growth." less...
