"Why Do I Teach?"

I have been a trainer for over 20 years. Started teaching when I was 19 years old, and continued teaching professionals starting in 1998.

The entertainment industry is notoriously hard to break into. Unlike other industries, jobs aren’t publicly listed with aggregators or on job boards. So if you want to start, or even continue, a career as an actor, musician, singer, dancer, or even as a part of the production crew, you’re often faced with the old mantra of “It’s who you know.” The Mandy Network is changing this.
