Hobbies
I am an actress and writer in Los Angeles. As a hobby, I work with inner city youth through the Los Angeles Maritime Institute Program - we take youth out to sail in LA's Tall Ships. I enjoy working with children and finding creative ways to keep them interested and curious about new things. Previous tutoring clients have included students at Santa Monica College, USC, Harvard Westlake, Palms Middle School, various grade schools and home schools. An avid backpacker, I love the outdoors and a sense of adventure.
