Born and raised in Oakland, California, I acted in school plays and joined a local theater program at Children's Fairyland, a quaint hometown theme park for kids.
At 21, after studying at Shelton Studios in S.F., I moved to New York City to join a conservatory program at The Actors Theatre Workshop, an award-winning non-profit theater with a 25-year history of providing essential community programming to NYC’s youth. I spent over a decade in ATW's company, performing on their stage and overseeing programs that included The Builders of the New World, an educational theater program for children living in temporary housing.
In 2017, I moved back to my home state to shift my focus toward TV and film.
Thank you for visiting. I hope to see you on set or stage!
