Three years ago I left my career in software engineering to pursue acting, and I've never felt more fulfilled. Being able to channel emotional and cognitive complexity through the characters I play always teaches me something new, and it's a privilege to be able to do this work. As a queer, non-binary actor finally seeing myself represented on screen, I've been compelled to contribute my voice. I relish stories that foster empathy and curiosity. Let me be that unique face you've been looking for.
I’m a passionate and confident aspiring model and actress who loves expressing myself creatively and being in front of the camera. I’m outgoing, dependable, easy to work with, and willing to take direction and learn. I’m excited to gain more experience, meet new people in the industry, and take on opportunities that allow me to grow while showing my personality and individuality.
