Personal & professional philosophy

I love telling a good story. And if I can find the heart of a good story, hard work doesn’t feel like work. It’s fun and even thrilling. I also believe in kindness and love; It’s those things that connect people to one another. They are a deep motivation for me to do good work, connect with others and be the best actor and person I can possibly be.

Upcoming performances/project

I’m currently in a theatre production called “Corleone” at Pacific Theatre. It’s a play based on the Godfather and written in iambic pentamer; Shakespeare meets Francis Ford Coppola. It also features an all female cast which I’m very excited to be part of.

What is the highlight of your work?

I was interested in working with Classic Chic because I wanted the experience of working closely with a large group of women who wanted to do good work and work well together. It’s been exactly that. I’ve had a lot of fun, I’m proud of the work everyone has done and I feel very supported.
