Bio

I’m an actor and storyteller drawn to characters with intelligence, authority, complexity, and unexpected warmth. Whether I’m working in drama, comedy, classical theatre, spoken word, or oral storytelling, I approach each performance with curiosity, preparation, and respect for the people sharing the scene.

Like many performers, my path has not been completely straightforward.

I first encountered acting through a fifth-grade chorus skit and later attended a performing-arts magnet middle school. Although my education eventually led me toward a master’s degree in software engineering and a career in technology, performance remained part of my life through both undergraduate and graduate school.

After moving from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest, I began pursuing acting with a renewed sense of purpose. Working with The Rude Mechanicals introduced me more deeply to Shakespeare and eventually led to the opportunity to play Othello. That experience challenged me, strengthened my confidence, and deepened my appreciation for language, character, and text-driven performance.

My creative life has also long included poetry. I began with the written form before eventually bringing more of that work into performance through spoken word. Oral storytelling became another way to explore the power of voice, memory, rhythm, and connection, including storytelling influenced by the griot tradition.

Over time, my work has expanded across theatre, film, commercials, and industrials. The forms may differ, but the goal remains the same: to bring something truthful to the story, elevate the people working alongside me, and leave the audience with something they continue thinking about after the scene ends.
