About me

I am an actor and singer and am at home in both acting and musical theater. My education is in acting, singing (classical and musical) and dance, and I have performed in numerous theaters in acting, musicals and operettas, as well as several films and voiceovers. I am also a very good tap dancer and have choreographed several tap musicals and tap interludes for productions. I have lived in New York for 10 years and in London for 2 years, so my English is excellent.
