I am an American actress, acting and dialect coach based in Rome. I’m from Chicago and speak fluent German and Italian. In 2017 I trained in Los Angeles with Ivana Chubbuck and am a certified teacher of the Chubbuck Technique.

Both as an acting and as a dialect coach I prepare actors for auditions and for international projects they have a role in.   

I coach on a one-to-one basis in Rome or online. Some of the actors I've worked with are: Cecile De France, Cristian De Sica, Giuseppe Cederna, Javier Cámara, Lubna Azabal, Sara Serraiocco and Silvio Orlando.

I also offer weekly bilingual acting classes and 2-4 day workshops in Rome and other parts of Italy. The focus is on scene and audition preparation through the use of the Chubbuck Technique. Plus, I also teach the Technique to the student actors of the Officine Quirino Acting School at the Teatro Quirino in Rome. 

Some of the international projects I’ve worked on as a dialect coach are: THE YOUNG POPE, directed by the 2014 Academy Award winner Paolo Sorrentino, I prepared on and off set Silvio Orlando for his co-starring role in the HBO/SKY TV series;  GRAIN directed by the Turkish film director and the 2010 Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award winner Semih Kaplanoglu, I prepared the film’s international cast: Ermin Bravo, Lubna Azabal, Grigory Dobrygin, Cristina Flutur.

Before that I also worked as a casting assistant on Rob Marshall’s NINE, Andre Corbijn’s THE AMERICAN and Woody Allen’s TO ROME WITH LOVE for Beatrice Kruger - FBI Casting.

As a young actress, I studied acting for 4 years in Berlin at the UdK (University of the Arts). I then moved to Rome and worked as an actress in theatre and film with such directors as Gabriele Salvatores, Mario Monicelli and Martin Scorsese. More recently I worked as an Actress in EQUALIZER 3 directed by Antoine Fuqua and MIKE directed by Giuseppe Bonito.
