My Services
Storytelling is one of the most natural things humans do, but we live in a very unnatural world... so sometimes we need a little help doing it.
I teach screenwriting to Master's candidates at the School of Visual Arts, am a frequent mentoring screenwriter for film festival programs such as the prestigious SeriesFest Episodic Lab, and have coached actors and writers privately for over 10 years in New York.
Whether you're a writer looking to strengthen a new draft, an actor prepping for an audition or role, or a corporate professional looking to improve your performance or sharpen your message with social media videos, I can help.
Let's tell a story.
Screenplay Consulting
I believe writers need to be extremely shrewd when considering who to ask for feedback on their scripts. With me, you'll get actionable and incisive notes from a studied/practiced professional, a detail-oriented collaborator, and a zealous advocate. Click the icon to book.
Social Media On-Camera Coaching
The influencer/creator economy is worth $250,000,000,000 and growing. It's the best way to get your message, business, or art to connect with others. Unfortunately, I see many people on social media platforms fail to land a point because they aren't trained in on-camera techniques. I want to change this. Maybe you're a finance coach, a science communicator, or a business consultant who wants to utilize TikTok, Reels, etc to spread your message. I can help. I want to help people tell better stories. From idea generation, to writing, to on-camera performance, I can get those vertical vids to sing. TikTok may be relatively new, but on-screen techniques aren't. Click the icon to book.

Audition Coaching
