L.A.-based actress, singer and dancer
My passion is engaged and collective storytelling rooted in compassion and curiosity. I believe in authentic, truthful connections that lead to collaboration and shared creative visions.
At the age of four, I had my first foray into the arts by going to the ballet. I was hooked! I continued my exploration through artistic pursuits and the search for truth by participating in the National Speech and Debate Association. My interest in human behavior naturally led to my career in acting, and I was guided to study Political Science and Psychology to fulfill this desire.
Upon graduation, I found myself in the field of international affairs, discovering the cultural nuances of our shared humanity, which I translated into empathy and respect for difference into acting. Soon after, I moved to New York City with “three bucks, two bags, one me” and learned from master teachers, especially life. I had the honor of becoming a member of the Professional Training Company at the Actors Theatre of Louisville, where I also discovered my love of anti-racism and equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging work, which I continue to develop as a facilitator.
I followed my affinity for visual art and media to Los Angeles, where I am happily pursuing film and TV opportunities. I have the tremendous fortune to live my dream, and the gift is the creation of beauty. I am inspired by the full spectrum of life, and I use the palette of the emotions to express the unspeakable. I hope to touch the timelessness of the stream of life and reach others through the power of the imagination. I live in the spirit of service, and I would be honored to have you on my journey.
