About Me
Hello! I grew up right outside of Chicago, and am a recent graduate of Northwestern University where I completed a Theatre Major, a Minor in Legal Studies, a Certificate in Musical Theatre, and a Module in Acting for the Screen. I am extremely passionate about movies/TV, politics, trying to master all genres of singing, animals, and AAPI representation in Hollywood and Broadway. I currently live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be an actor. I believe acting and watching performances on the screen and stage connects people, and can help us realize that we are all far more similar than different. In a time where division is a defining feature of our country, I believe storytelling can promote common ground and humanization of different voices. Whether it be comedy or drama, acting never fails to make me feel happier than ever! Nothing is more joyful than seeing yourself in a character you're playing, or just connecting to a character on TV. I dream to be a part of projects that make people feel less alone.
When not acting or singing, I can be found bingeing the latest hit TV drama (my current obsessions are Succession and Game of Thrones), going on hikes to look for wildlife, or spending quality time with friends and family. I am extremely proud of my Filipino Heritage and close-knit, loving family.
