About
Born, raised, and based in Los Angeles, CA, I’ve been lucky enough to do what I love all my life!
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve never felt more myself than when I’m performing. Whether it be on stage or screen, as long as I can make people smile and feel like they are heard, seen, and supported, I know my work is truly my art. I love creating and have always had an imagination that knows no bounds. I started performing at the age of four when, as I recall it, I received a thunderous applause, (or roaring laughter, not sure which), for my smash hit solo chorus of “Interplanet Janet” in School House Rock. From that moment on, I knew that that feeling was something I wanted to live in for the rest of my life, and I’ve been chasing that thrill ever since. I have been blessed to be supported by my family and friends in my endeavors from then until my journey to and through UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television. Some highlights of mine include originating the character of Becca Justak in the department’s premiere production of Still Harvey Still, directed by Alana Dietze and written by Brianna Barrett, as well as the huge honor of being a member of Spring Sing 2022’s comedy team Company.

I believe an impactful artist is one who expands their reach beyond just the realm of art and is constantly curious. To be a well rounded person is to be well versed in the world and always keep exploring. Here’s what else I have filled my time with besides performing!
Woof on Campus!
I’m the Director of Community Relations for a 501c3 Non-Profit, student-run animal rescue organization and have been since its inception in 2020. Partnering with several Los Angeles and Orange County-based rescues, we have utilized the student bodies at several universities around Southern California to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home over 400 animals within the last two years.

BruinWoods
BruinWoods is UCLA’s alumni family summer camp, located at the UCLA Conference Center in beautiful Lake Arrowhead, California. I have been fortunate to work a counselor here for two years making lasting bonds with campers and their families alike. I’m a registered Red Cross Lifeguard where I entertained guests weekly at the pool with my waterpolo tournament half-time standup routine.
PA Work
As someone who works both in front of and behind the camera, I feel I’ve learned so much in my time working as a PA about professionalism and how big of a picture we are apart of. It is my belief that not only does production work prime me to be a better actor but have better knowledge of the many hands that go into the world of visual storytelling. It is such a sacred, beautiful, and intricate art and I feel even more proud to be apart of it all.
