About Samara

After completing my BFA in Acting and a minor in Sociology from Ithaca College, I began a successful career as an actress. I worked in film, television, and commercials and spent several years performing Shakespeare in elementary schools throughout the Los Angeles area.
After becoming a mother, I developed a strong interest in exploring the world of literature and storytelling. This interest led me to pursue a career as a literary agent, where I could combine my passion for theater and writing with my industry experience.
As a student, I have always had a passion for learning, particularly in writing, literature, and the performing arts. I enjoy sharing my educational experiences with young people and assisting them in overcoming various challenges they may face in their writing, such as finding their voice or fully developing their work.
Different actors face unique challenges in their craft, such as voice projection, script analysis, or line memorization. With my extensive experience, I can provide comprehensive support to students in all areas of acting.
My background as an agent and performer has enabled me to develop a unique and creative approach to teaching. I believe in fostering inquisitive and exploratory conversations that benefit students and myself. My teaching style is characterized by patience, innovation, and thoughtfulness. I am passionate about acting and writing and committed to supporting my students on their journey towards achieving success and finding joy in their artistic pursuits.

Writing
In writing, my goal is to help students incorporate their authentic voices into their writing assignments and creative work. I work with students to build confidence in their perspectives, ideas, and voices so that they can express themselves on the page. For creative writing, I teach fiction writing, memoir, and poetry. We explore character development, establishing setting, plot, and conflict; for essays, we work on short and long-form essays, addressing analytic, interpretative, and critical composition and incorporating a personal point of view.
