My Acting Journey
Ever since I was little, the journey to becoming a professional actor was engraved in my brain. Not knowing how I would get there, I decided to start with the basics. So, from early training in theatre, studying the arts all the way through college, to gaining real-world experience in film and television, I’ve honed my craft over the years, always seeking to grow and challenge myself as an actor.
Whether it’s dramatic roles, comedic timing, or dynamic character portrayals, I bring depth, authenticity, and passion to every performance. Although it has been years since my school days, I am continually learning and growing my craft as an actor. If I’m not on set, you will find me in acting classes studying audition techniques, voice overs, and comedy and improv.

I’m deeply grateful for this honor, which continues to inspire me to grow as a performer. I actively train through ongoing acting classes to ensure every project I take on is grounded in authenticity, skill, and connection with the audience.
