Born and raised in Los Angeles, I grew-up immersed in the theatre world.  My dad made his living as a stagehand so I spent my childhood backstage.  I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Arts from California State University Long Beach.  I then worked on multiple productions self-producing, directing, writing and performing.  Afterwards, I performed in an interactive performance art experience I co-created titled 'human to human' across the U.S.  I then followed my travel bug down to Central America where I spent a year as an artist in residence, leading communities in theatre projects focused on social change.  I continued to travel to Southeast Asia until I decided to establish roots here in New York City.
