actor, athlete

Injuries sustained gave me the break in my monastic athletic routine to self-assess and finally summon the courage to tackle the path for which I thought I was most suited: acting. Now I’m in the United Kingdom pursuing my Master’s of Fine Arts at East 15.

actor and writer

actor, writer, producer and teacher

I was dreadfully shy (still am, on some days). We had to give presentations in front of the class and I sped through my three minute speech in under sixty seconds. My knees were shaking, my palms were sweaty… you know the song. That was me. It was awful. I couldn’t wait to try it again.  LEARN MORE
