MEET THE Director

Many children struggle with shyness, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence that holds them back from speaking up, trying new things, and believing in themselves. As a parent, I know how painful it can be to watch your child hesitate or hide their true potential.

My life is dedicated to helping children overcome those fears through performing arts, because I believe confidence is the foundation for success. When I was six years old, I failed first grade, but my mother’s belief in me changed everything. That confidence led me to become a TV personality at ten, win a national singing competition at twelve, become a recording artist, and earn degrees from New York University and Framingham State University. Inspired by how performance transformed my own life, I founded World Star Academy and have spent over 20 years helping thousands of children grow from shy beginners into confident individuals.

If you’re tired of watching your child hold back, it’s time to help them shine—join the World Star Academy family today.
