Welcome to my site!

Hi! A little about me... I was born and raised in the Philippines and moved to the US for college. My passion for theatre ignited at age 13 after seeing Lea Salonga in a local production of My Fair Lady. My first college theatre role? A Filipino grandma, or "Lola"!

I'm an actor, writer, and director, and I love crafting stories of resilience and hope from a woman's perspective. When I'm not in my creative zone, you'll find me hiking, traveling with my family, and playing fetch with our dog (who even made a cameo in my first film!).

Feeling truly grateful for the incredible support of my friends and family.
