I first realized the thrill of lights in my eyes and standing ovations at nine years old, holding up a bowl of gruel and singing Oliver!
High school and college brought me Cornelius Hackl and Franklin Sheppard, I toured as Johnny Appleseed working with underprivileged youth, then honed my skills at American Conservatory Theatre (SF) in its Summer Training Congress and sign language interpreting program.
Within a year of moving to Los Angeles, I was thrilled to win an Ovation Award for Cast Ensemble in a brilliant re-invention of A Streetcar Named Desire, with DeafWest.
I've also worked on my stand-up comedy set at The Comedy Store (Belly Room).
Going to the Sundance Film Festival with two short films gave me a confidence rush as a new arrival in Hollywood.
I have been thrilled to work with Jane Lynch, Jimmi Simpson, Fairuza Balk, and so many talented people, telling compelling stories.

Going to the Sundance Film Festival with two short films gave me a confidence rush as a new arrival in Hollywood.
I have been thrilled to work with Jane Lynch, Jimmi Simpson, Fairuza Balk, and so many talented people, telling compelling stories.
I have studied with actors whose work and style I admired, borrowing and appropriating techniques that get results. I love the audition process and have a long list of people I am eager to work with.
I'm excited that my recent work in the short, Fred, played the London-Worldwide Comedy Short Film Festival in March 2018.
