As an educator, Anne has supported students at all levels. She has worked with artists to help them gain the courage to speak in front of a crowd of 5 to 10,000, build the confidence to audition for local community theatres, earn leading roles in their school’s productions, get cast in professional company productions in major theatre cities, land starring roles in Pixar films, and everything in between.

Anne’s educational philosophy is to awaken in others their unique potential and passions. Starting with strengths, Anne is dedicated to helping students use their voice to create meaningful change in the world.
