Since then, I have been acting myself, coaching and mentoring actors for the past 5 years on skill development, understanding the industry, communications, and resume building. I have the honor to be the host for Cable TV, producer, and volunteer for CVC TV in Bolton, CT.

The New England Talent Showcase is a professional event that will allow talent to market and compete with the best in the industry. The New England Talent Showcase allows talent to demonstrate their potential in competitions judged by agents, personal managers, and casting directors looking for fresh faces ready to work. Our goal is to ensure every attendee has the opportunity to fulfill their dreams of becoming a professional performer. This goal will be accomplished by providing a venue where talent can showcase their skills to a select group of agents, managers, and casting directors in several categories, Models in the Spring, kids in the Summer, and actors again next Fall!
