I was born on an avocado farm near the coast of San Diego, California. My mom did what was probably really cool secretive work that I'll never learn about for Lockheed Martin, and my dad was a marine biologist who spent his time cleaning up oil spills. I went to school for music--specifically the flute, though I play guitar, piano, and sing as well--until Bell's Palsy froze half my face, then switched over to acting.
At least, I said I did. Really, it was just my excuse to move to LA, I think. Down the line, I quit CA life to work sound at a play for a fringe festival in New Orleans, and that's where it all really started for me. I moved to NYC soon after, and studied all the classical methods and performed throughout the city in shows so off Broadway I was in a different state, up to shows just a few blocks away. Currently, I'm working on a feature and my own pilot, writing my way through a trilogy I've got all mapped out, and acting wherever I'm allowed.
Recent projects include: Still Awake (Hollywood Encore Producer's Award, theatre, 2022), What's My Name Again? (Best Drama IFS film fest, film, 2022), This Side Up (film, 2021), Sleepers (television, 2019), Halo (commercial, 2021), Empower (commercial, 2020).
