From Casting to Coaching —
And Everything in Between
I didn’t move to LA to be in front of the camera—I moved because I knew I belonged behind it. I just didn’t know where yet.
That clicked the day I watched Kevin Bacon play two completely different characters in two completely different films… and believed both. It wasn’t just brilliant acting—it was smart casting.
That’s when I realised someone made that decision. I wanted to be that someone.
What I Do Now
In addition to casting, I coach actors who are ready to stop second-guessing and start showing up like they belong. Whether it’s for a big audition, a role that feels out of reach, or the simple desire to grow, I help actors bring grounded, specific, unforgettable work into the room—and onto the tape.
My coaching is instinctive, clear, and personal. No templates. No fluff. Just real support for real growth.
My Casting Career
I began my casting career over two decades ago in the Talent & Casting department at FOX. Since then, I’ve worked closely with respected casting directors like Jeanie Bacharach, Gillian O’Neill, and Lauren Grey. In 2011, I partnered with Casting Director Risa Bramon Garcia to cast numerous pilots and series for networks including CBS, NBC, and Showtime. Risa was also the person who encouraged me to start teaching—a gift I didn’t know I needed until I stepped into that first classroom.
My casting credits include:
-
The Newsroom (HBO)
-
The Affair (Showtime)
-
SEAL Team (CBS)
-
Ash vs Evil Dead (Starz)
-
Knight of Cups (Terrence Malick)
-
The Walking Dead: Red Machete (AMC, Emmy-nominated)
-
Conversations in LA (Emmy-nominated)
-
Stargate Origins (MGM)
…plus over a dozen indie features.
Where I’ve Taught
I’ve taught in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, London, New Zealand, and as an adjunct professor at the University of Texas. No matter the location, the mission’s always the same: help actors connect with their instincts, take risks, and bring themselves fully to the work.
My Move to Atlanta
In 2024, I moved to Atlanta to be closer to family—without knowing if my casting career would follow me. It took a minute… but it did.
I’m currently casting my first film since relocating, and continuing to coach actors in both Atlanta and online. If this transition taught me anything, it’s that the work finds you when you stay rooted in your voice—and keep showing up for it.
If you’re ready to grow—not just for the next role, but for the long run—I’d love to work with you.
