Actor Bio

I began my acting career in high school. Like many children, I loved playing pretend since a young age, often critiquing playmates on their performances. Yes, I was that kid. So, theater class was the perfect place for me! My love for acting quickly grew. It felt instinctual. I was home.  

In spring of my freshman year of high school my class went to see Wicked at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. As soon as the lights went in at the end of act one, I thought “I want to do that!” It was a very formative moment for me. Wicked is still my favorite musical of all time.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Theater from Azusa Pacific University, and since graduating I have taken part in many short films, countless Tiktok and Instagram ads, commercials, sketch shows, and I was even featured as a background actor on the set of Superstore. I had to chew and spit out a Heath bar more than ten times. I haven’t touched a Heath bar since.

My goal is to be on television. I write as a hobby, but writing and producing one of my many ideas would be an absolute dream!

I love crime, drama, romance, and comedy, and I especially love when all of those are combined into a weird mishmash that makes no sense but somehow works. Exhibit A: Killing Eve. That show gives me life!

I write mostly as a hobby, but writing, producing, and starring in something I created would be a dream! That idea lives in fantasy land for now, but you never know!
