A Love of the Arts
Since my earliest years, I have nurtured a deep interest in the performing and visual arts through various forms of artistic self-expression. This passion has driven me to explore a multitude of artistic mediums both academically and professionally. I am a distinguished graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where I earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees, one in theater, and another in communications, as well as a certificate in film studies.
As a versatile performer, I have had the privilege and pleasure of studying various disciplines, including acting, singing, stage movement, dance, circus, and improvisation. I have also worked as a fashion and commercial model, which has given me a unique understanding of the importance of movement, presence, and emotion.
My love for theatrical acting eventually led me to delve into the realm of film, where I have earned recognition as an award-winning director, editor, sound designer, documentarian and screenwriter.
A Commitment to Inclusion
As a young, queer woman, I strongly believe that it's crucial for us in the arts to continuously shed light on stories from underrepresented voices in both our industry and society as a whole. It's imperative for the mainstream arts industry to embrace and uplift the voices of women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, survivors, people with disabilities, people from various religious and spiritual backgrounds, and other voices that have been historically underrepresented.
I'm deeply passionate about creating inclusive spaces and opportunities to help amplify these stories. I'm eager to collaborate with like-minded artists who share my enthusiasm and dedication to promoting diverse narratives.
A Penchant for Flare
With an insatiable curiosity and thirst for learning, I have always pushed myself to go beyond the limits of my comfort zone and experience life to my fullest capabilities. Whether this be through skydiving for my 18th birthday, backpacking through 6 countries of the Balkans alone, walking NY Fashion Week at just 5’6”, repelling down a waterfall in Vietnam, joining circus school and learning flying trapeze in adulthood, summiting volcanos in Indonesia, Iceland, and Fiji, or sitting down for a cup of coffee with a complete stranger to hear their life story, I never shy away from the potential to create a lasting memory or meaningful connection.
