👋 Hi, I’m Heidi!

I turn social media rookies into rockstars!

I’m a social media strategist, speaker, and founder of Marketing4Actors. My clients include Broadway Stars, Emmy Award-winners, content creators, series regulars, directors, casting directors, producers, filmmakers and actors just like you!

A smiling woman standing in front of a poster that reads "Social Media for Actors" and mentions tips for thriving, surviving, and thriving in media.

🎭 Why actors?

The simple answer is.... #ActorsRock!

The longer answer.... I've been in the social media and marketing world for yeeeears now, but before that I was an actress for 20 years (I started at age 10!). I studied theatre at the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and worked as an actor in both New York City and LA. I’ve had agents and managers, have done voiceovers, print work, television, concerts, commercials and played principal roles in major national & international tours.  I'm also a proud member of both AEA & SAG. I know what it takes to be an actor and I truly understand it's all you ever wanted to do and what you dream about 24/7.

🙌 My Mission:

To help artists stop “struggling” or “aspiring” and turn dreamers into ‘doers’ who make their careers their own. I will show you step-by-step how to use social media to create opportunities, build an audience, and make more powerful connections with people you want to know.

Don’t just take it from me:

    “My mind is blown! There is so much value jam-packed into Heidi's course. From the posting ideas and hashtag shortcuts, to finally understanding how to connect with people I want to know on social media. I am super excited to finally get a solid handle on how to take advantage of social media in an effective and efficient way. If you want to learn how to rock your social media presence, I can't recommend the course highly enough."

    "Within just the first 2 weeks of taking Heidi's course, I have received more traffic to my social media accounts than ever before and have made A LOT more connections. One of those connections helped me book a stunt gig for an upcoming feature film!! Thank you Heidi!"

When I’m not making fun Instagram Reels, speaking at conferences/film festivals across the country or creating fun classes for actors you’ll find me hiking, cooking, gardening, playing with my daughter Tallulah, hanging with my husband (Award Winning Audiobook Narrator/Broadway/TV Actor) Phillip Hernandez and just embracing life!

Thanks for joining the conversation! Can’t wait to help you on your journey!
