My love for storytelling began in a high school photography class, eventually leading to a BFA in Photography & Digital Media. After college, I took a detour into education, spending six years as a 4th-grade bilingual teacher.
Everything shifted when I reluctantly accepted a small role in a community theatre production. That single experience on stage sparked something that wouldn't let go. I began training in on-camera acting, which led to representation and a start in commercials. Taking that as my sign, I left teaching to pursue acting full-time.
Since moving to Los Angeles, I've also leaned into writing and creating my own opportunities. Today, I balance my life between acting, writing, and professional photography. I'm guided by the resilience of Rocky. His philosophy taught me that success isn't about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That grit defines my work, my craft, and how I approach every role.
"It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."
