Coaching

Have a book release? Want to polish up a piece to read for an open mic or live lit event? Whether you have previous performance experience or none at all, I can help you reach your audience at a deeper level. We can work in person if you're in the Chicago area or remotely by video chat if you're not.

Directing

Have a longer piece? More than one performer? I can help you there too!

Fees vary by project requirements. Contact me and let me know how I can help you deliver your most effective performance.

What else?

 I have a BFA in Acting from Ithaca College with a Writing minor. I have been a singer/songwriter, a tap dancer, a modern dancer, and an actress too. I can run a light board and knit a hat. I'm still looking for bandmates for my all-mama punk band "The Contractions" so we can finally play "PUT DOWN THAT STICK!" I have two sons, two cats, and a really tall husband.
