She focused on her casting of actors with special. needs and her being drawn to topics that showed people overcoming challenges and/or have diversity..

Are you an actor looking for an acting coach? Have you been thinking that you would like to hone your acting skills? Perhaps you want to audition for regional theater? A commercial? Or even try to make a living as an actor in Hollywood? But then you think you don’t have the time or don’t live in an area where you can easily access coaching sessions? Or perhaps you have an audition, but need to analyze the script to get the scene “just right”? Or you are a parent and can tell that you have a young budding actor under your roof.
