Bachelors of Arts, Masters of Fine Arts, Actor/Playwright/Screenwriter/Novelist/Filmmaker

I have been writing novels, screenplays, plays, songs and poetry for her fifteen years. I also studied theatre at both the undergrad with a Bachelor's of Arts from Western Michigan University and graduate level with a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of California, San Diego. I am an expert in script analysis and story building. I like to dive deep into how to build a fictional world from the ground up, and creating characters whose motives are logical within the world that is built. My favorite genres are magical realism, science fiction, historical fiction, and crime dramas. I use my skills in writing and world building as an actor as well. I create each character as I would the worlds I create in fiction. I start with the simple traits(i.e. "what does my character carry in his pocket" "What is my character's favorite breakfast food" etc.) so that I can find a completely fulfilled character I can embody. I have acted in numerous theatre's across the country such as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Seattle Repertory theatre. In these lessons I will follow the principles your instructor has laid out for you and help you reach the highest potential your work can achieve by looking for specifics and help flesh out the world and characters you are creating. I will also help you with script analysis so you can continue thinking deeper about your ideas as you continue on the path of world-building.
