I have established a strong track record as an acting instructor and director, working confidently with performers at various stages of their careers. As an instructor at Ferrell Studios, I’ve taught acting fundamentals, scene study, and performance techniques to aspiring actors, drawing on my diverse professional experience. My directorial approach combines empathetic guidance with technical precision, helping actors discover authentic emotional connections to their characters while maintaining clear objectives. My students consistently praise my ability to identify and address specific performance challenges, creating a supportive yet rigorous learning environment. My work as a Standardized Patient Educator has further refined my ability to guide performers through complex emotional scenarios, making me particularly effective at helping actors develop believable reactions and interactions. With practical industry experience and a psychological understanding of human behavior, I empower my students to transform their performances through targeted, constructive direction.
