Of what she learned
at AMDA, she says, "Everything! I learned how to use my voice and how to breathe. I learned what I was
before, and what I am now as an actor, which is a great leap. It helped being with the same classmates-
in growing together, we became almost like a repertory company. It has also helped me enormously watching
the other students grow. I now feel secure with my art."
