Nicole C. and Jodie P.

Business Owner

Jodie L. Panek started with a background in business & sales but after moving to LA over 15 years ago, she made educating actors her passion. She loves helping actors achieve their goals and is very well respected by industry professionals.

Nicole Foster Callahan has been working steadily as an actor for over 9 years. She began counseling actors three years ago and enjoys helping others find their footing in the entertainment industry and watching them grow. Many of her clients have gone on to sign with great representation and work in TV/​Film as actors & hosts.

Both ladies are driven to create an environment for artists to come together to share ideas, showcase their talents & make connections that blossom into successful working relationships in the TV/​Film industry.
