Welcome to my website! So happy to have you here!
There’s lots to see, so stay a while!
Hey there! I’m a staged actor and singer based out of Milwaukee!
I’m a little brown girl from Fresno, California, where musicals, Audra McDonald and a fierce passion for the arts shaped much of my childhood. I developed that passion through community theatre, the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts and…more Audra McDonald.
When not performing, I can be found entertaining myself through barista-ing, poetry, and Scooby Doo (seriously. Ask me anything. Did you know Scooby Doo was named after the Frank Sinatra song “Strangers in the Night?”).
I also am heavily involved in opening up conversations centered on mental health. I am not only working on my mental health journey everyday, but have become an open book to those who don’t quite understand all of the mental spectrum yet, or those who aren’t quite ready to share their vulnerability yet. Especially in the arts, these conversations keep us artists alive, which keeps theatre alive, and those hard to reach stories grounded in truth.
Black Lives Matter
Everyday. I’ll be honest, I am tired. Tired of mourning. Tired of worrying if I will be added to the list of names. Tired of fearing my family/friends will be added. I am not afraid of speaking out on what I believe is a fundamental problem and needs to be addressed, and will do so until I can’t anymore. Defund the police. Abolish ICE. Justice for George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Daunte Wright, and so many more. In case it wasn’t clear, Black Lives Matter. Black Trans Lives Matter.
