Hello!

I spent most of my childhood in the Seattle area, spending extensive time in ballet class, which lead me to theatre. Being from the PNW, I am in love with mountains and am always up for a hike with my dog. Any excuse to get out into the woods!

As a child, I lived in Guatemala, so I speak some Spanish and am very dedicated to my Duolingo. My dad is Filipino, and as an adult, I have been working to learn more about that side of my culture, also learning Tagalog, which thankfully, has some similarities to Spanish. 

I went to Belhaven University for undergrad, where I became the first person in the history of the university to complete simultaneous degrees in dance and theatre, despite all the naysayers. From there, I went on to London's Royal Central School of Speech & Drama for my Master's degree. I am absolutely in love with the UK and look forward to any chance I have to go back.

Since moving to LA, I have fallen in love with improv and Shakespeare, my first acting job here was at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum where we got to perform under the stars. I have completed all 4 levels at UCB, and moved on to musical improv after that. I have studied with Claire Chubbuck at Ivana Chubbuck Studio and Susan Angelo on classical text.

In my spare time, I write poetry, paint, and take as many ballet classes as I can. I'm a goofy, driven, dreamer and am motivated to create things that matter. I am currently working towards more film and television work, but am also a member of Actors Equity and I audition for as much theatre as I can in LA. 

I am always searching for projects that involve my favorite things: a fierce trust in one’s partners, complete collaboration, and massive elasticity.
