Spending her life in the arts has been one of Kelsey’s greatest joys in life. She uses tools she has cultivated over the years from studying with various vocal coaches in the city, (most recently with Aaron Hagan), to help students tackle various genres/styles of singing including pop/rock/jazz. She uses custom-tailored techniques and exercises for each individual student. Her goal is to help expand the individual’s knowledge of their own voice, improve their vocal technique and stamina, all while doing it in a healthy and easeful way. Kelsey has studied Meisner and Stanislavski extensively and believes in fostering each person’s own unique creativity and in developing an approach to acting that works efficiently and effectively. 

Kelsey’s goal as a coach is to empower students to explore, take risks, and to be open-minded. She believes in creating a nurturing environment for her students that’s rooted in honesty and communication. Kelsey is a proud member of the Actors’ Equity Association.
