It's fitting that I was raised in Roswell, New Mexico because I've always felt like a bit of an alien (IYKYK). I never quite fit in - literally. I've been 5'10 since the 5th grade. Aside from my height, I was a performer through and through. Any opportunity I had to act in a Nativity pageant or sing classic tunes in a sparkly dress through show choir was one I cherished. During those moments I was able to inhabit a different world, be someone completely new, live a life that seemed so foreign and adventurous to my own. 

​

​So I did what many young creatives do- I left my small hometown and moved to the big city to pursue acting. I graduated from the NYU Tisch School of the Arts where I received classical training at The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute and studied film acting technique/production at Stonestreet Studios. During this time, I took an especial interest in movement, Shakespearean performance, art history, and psychology. 

​

Since graduating, I've found much fulfillment and joy working as an actress and expanding into the creative field as a model, brand ambassador, and content creator. 

 

I've had some incredible experiences along the way. One was participating in the first-ever annual Lee Strasberg Actor's Showcase in Los Angeles. Others included traveling the world (for real- not just through the medium of my imagination) and learning more about various cultures and perspectives.

​

Yoga and Tai Chi practices have become daily rituals for me, and through them I find a balance of wellness in mind, body and soul- and I'm a Libra, so balance is everything! These practices also help me to stay present and grounded in my work.

​

But the most important discovery I've made is that I don't need to perform to be somebody else anymore. Because truthfully, its not about me. It's about moving others. Listening. Connecting with people on a real, raw, truthful level. Maybe helping someone else feel a little less alone, a little less alien. Or even better, reminding someone that being different is actually a gift, and one to embrace. 

​​

​I've embraced it, and am so grateful to have found this calling that I can work toward every day for the rest of my life. So paint me green, put me on a stage or in front of a camera, and journey with me into the weird and wild and wonderful. ​​​​​
