Acting
I have been acting in both stage and film since 2018, continuing the journey that I started in high school when I arrived at Santa Clara University in order to participate in theater at a collegiate level. My special skills include British, Southern, and Trans-Atlantic accents as well as ballet, jazz, and musical theater styles of dance.
In addition to the leading/notable stage roles I have listed here, I have also played Sleeping Beauty/Cinderella's Bird (Into the Woods), Peaseblossom (A Midsummer Night's Dream), and Gangster #2 (The Drowsy Chaperone). Furthermore, I have played characters such as Nora Helmer (A Doll's House), Phyllis Dietrichson (Double Indemnity), and Amiga Gringa (In The Blood) during individual scene studies and staged readings.
