Story teller. Actor. Film Maker. Creative Voice
Teen actor, filmmaker, and writing crafting compelling narratives through film, poetry, stage performance, and multimedia storytelling
My Creative Journey
Theater
My love for theater comes from stepping into different lives and telling stories that resonate. The stage is a space for expression, creativity, and connection, letting me explore emotions deeply. I have acted, co-directed, and assistant directed part of 11 musicals and 7 plays over the last decade at Creative Cauldron, McLean High School, Imagination Stage, Alden Theater and Kennedy Center. In preparation for future professional experiences, I have also been a student of Signature Theater’s acting Conservatory for the past two years.
Films
My passion for films comes from a love of storytelling and visuals. I've worked as an actor, director, editor, writer, producer, and more, crafting short films in various genres. Each project hones my skills, fosters collaboration, and brings unique stories to life, fueling my dedication to cinema.
Writing
Spoken word poetry is where my love for language and emotion converge. It allows me to express raw feelings and stories with rhythm and power. In addition to poetry, I’ve also written two ten-minute plays, numerous short screenplays ranging from comedy to drama to satire, and even sketch comedy shorts. Writing fuels my passion to connect, inspire, and communicate the depth of human experience through carefully crafted words.
