About Me

Stories connect us with each other. I believe in the power of storytelling to make the world a better place for all.  

I love story.

The further I expanded my artistic practice, the more I saw that story must be at the center of it. Through acting and screenwriting and filmmaking and singing and stage combat, my mentors made it clear: our work is to tell a good story.

The more I cultivated my craft, the more joy I found in the practice of creating my own work. Writing screenplays and making films taught me to love bringing people together. I deepened my appreciation for all the roles people have and understood how to be a better collaborator with them. Making stories gave me a new sense of agency to take my career to the next levels.

On projects, I always bring a warm openness and vulnerability. I dive into roles with passion! It’s important for me to treat others with kindness, even when we work fast. And I love having fun. And sometimes being funny, too!  

I believe we can make the world a better place through the hearts we touch. I choose to do that through story.
