In My Own Words

“

I believe the best performances come from listening — really listening — to the other person in the room. Theatre changed my life when I was sixteen and saw a production of In the Heights in my hometown. I want to give that same gift to someone else.

”

About

Recent BFA graduate passionate about new works and stories that center underrepresented voices. Equally at home in contemporary drama, devised theatre, and on-camera work. Trained in Meisner, Viewpoints, and Suzuki — I bring physical precision and emotional honesty to every role. When I'm not in rehearsal, I'm probably at a poetry open mic or hiking Griffith Park with my dog, Biscuit.
