Some of her favorite past roles have included Eponine in Les Miserables, Maria in The Sound of Music, Lizzie Curry in 110 in the Shade, and Aldonza in Man of La Mancha, for which she won the BroadwayWorld (Boston) Award for Best Actress in a Musical and a Cape Cod Times Favorite Performance of 2015. Mimi was also honored to be selected to sing for Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (composers of Les Mis, Miss Saigon, etc) at a sold-out performance of their musical repertoire during their 2017 artistic residency at the University of Virginia. She is an alum of Michael Howard Studios’ Summer Acting Conservatory and IES Abroad’s Theatre Studies Program in London, England, where she worked as the Creative Engagement Intern at Arcola Theatre, one of the city’s leading off-West End companies.

Mimi’s Coaching Philosophy

We all know that the world of Broadway is centered around creative people – people who are imaginative, passionate, and artistic. But the entertainment industry is also filled with people who understand business – and the savviest performers have learned to see themselves as both artists AND business professionals. I want to help you find that balance and set you on a path to creative fulfillment AND industry success! In my coaching sessions, we will go over your goals and make a plan to achieve them with practical, constructive steps. I will help you revise your resume, choose the best headshot, build your book with music and monologues, and understand your particular “habits” as a performer – and how to bring a sense of ease and truth into your auditions. In addition, I can answer any questions regarding the ins and outs of the business: how do I book professional work? Do I need an agent or a manager? How do I get one? What is going on?!? I will help give you and your family the tools to understand this industry so that you can walk into any room, meeting, or audition with confidence.
