Actor. Dancer. Advocate.

You found me!

Ghosh, this is a lot of pressure. Encapsulate all of me into a couple palatable paragraphs.

I guess I’ll start by addressing the elephant in the room: I don’t just pursue acting. Shhhh… don’t tell anyone I’ve committed the immoral sin of double dipping my interests! I’ve never thought that anything was truly insular. There’s politics in acting and acting in politics after all. My passion has been finding the pressure point where art brings people’s stories to life, where political stories go from people as numbers to people as beings. I had the opportunity to explore this in projects humanizing queer parental rights and the crisis in Ukraine. None of this would have been possible without my education.

I’ve always carried with me a clear love for learning and a drive for constant improvement. In June 2024 I earned two degrees from University of California, Davis in Theater and Dance as well as Political Science-Public Service, though my education has not been confined to the academic year. In my summers, I flexed the acting muscle at such academic entities as Manhattan Film Institute, where I trained with Bob Krakower, UCLA, and NYU. I strongly believe development as an artist is never over - and how beautiful a reality that is.

In the acting world, I embrace dynamic naturalism. Influenced by Stanislavski and Meisner, I draw emotional resonance from my own experiences while grounding myself in the exchange of energy with scene partners.

As the Founder of the Screen Actor’s League at Davis, I enjoyed being involved in uplifting fellow aspiring actors to take the leap into the professional scene.

Directors and educators describe me as a bright and spirited individual with an unmatched work ethic, a deep attention to detail and quick ability to take corrections (I’m blushing).

I am currently spending my time working as a Media Specialist at Earthday.org while I continue to train and work on those artistic projects I can.

My hope is that my performances, whether on stage or screen, are windows into worlds that educate, entertain, and, most importantly, instill empathy in people’s hearts.
