I grew up in a big, loud, creative family where storytelling was part of everyday life. Through my mother's career as a Los Angeles morning radio personality, I had the opportunity to meet actors, musicians, filmmakers, YouTubers and other artists from a young age. Seeing so many people dedicated to their craft sparked my own love of performing and bringing stories to life.
Today, you'll usually find me on stage, behind a camera, playing guitar and singing, or diving into a story-rich video game.
I always feel honored when I'm entrusted to play a character that a writer created. It's a privilege. And, local theater is my favorite. There is something special about a group of people coming together to create a show and share it with their community.
Whether I'm acting, singing, or creating content, I enjoy finding new ways to entertain, connect, and tell a great story. I'm excited to see where the next chapter takes me!
