    My artist development program is where I take time to develop you as an artist step by step. I offer professional industry standard training to help with stage performance, camera work and aspiring models. Confidence is key in everything you do especially when it comes to performing in front of a crowd. I teach individuals how to embrace their own unique style. It's about body language, eye contact, intentions, angles, power, and creating a safe space for people to learn and grow from one another. I am all about teamwork, dedication, showmanship, sportsmanship, discipline and respect.
