I moved to Queenstown from Auckland in 2023 with a simple observation: this city is becoming one of New Zealand's most exciting filming locations, and its actors deserve a serious place to train. I bring real industry experience into every class: credits on Shortland Street, Double Parked and 10+ productions, and 80 weeks of Meisner training under prominent US coach Michael Saccente.

"My two girls had so much fun this term. Grateful for the adventures and opportunities that being in your classes have opened them up to."
