About Me: I was raised in the beautiful Ojai Valley, which continuously supports the arts! I started acting in Youth and Community Theatre at just eight years old and continued to do so throughout my High School career! I went on to study at the Pacific Conservatory Theatre; Professional Actor Training Program in Santa Maria, California. After school, I moved back to Ojai and started teaching at the Ojai Youth Entertainers Studio as a Teaching Artist and Director. I now also continue my acting training with Actors Edge in Sherman Oaks. 

Telling stories in the way we do as actors is my greatest passion, but other than that, I love to cook as I was raised by two chefs, I am a cat mom to Ahi, and I love to read, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy the outdoors!
