I was born in Los Angeles, in my youth a voracious doodler scrawling all over my homework. As I grew I started translating dreams and generating creature design ideas through my drawings. I caught the theatre bug in high school when I discovered Shakespeare, and ever since then I’ve been chasing that work and dedicating most of my educational energy and time to it. Shakespeare is what makes me feel most connected to the breadth of the human experience. It touched my soul, and brought me friendships and opportunities I never would have expected. It was the spark that lit my proverbial fire.
When I went on to pursue a BFA, I was not about to give up on my lifelong love of the sciences either, so in college I made sure to fill up my brain-space with classes on Animal Behavior and Anatomy of Movement to supplement my acting, and to better understand “what I was even doing with this thing” (my body). Other hobbies I’ve picked up have included banjo playing and zine making!
