I'm currently an artist in residence in Skagastrond, Iceland. It's been magical to have access to so much natural beauty while nurturing my growth as an artist. *Saw these guys on the side of the road on my birthday :)

Sneak Preview 6/18/16 UCLA James Bridges Theatre 7pm

We are happy for our first showing of LIMV our indie comedy set in the Inland Empire in the 90′s. I’m producing and playing a supporting role in this funny and poignant coming of age film. Can’t wait to share this with the world.  Check out our website! And an article on The Press Enterprise

Made this little ditty with all my heart. I was a part of this program for over a decade, it was the better part of my after school aside from dance team. My first job was to sharpen pencils and tidy up supplies after the kids were gone. I’m happy to be giving back in the way that I can, with the making of this video. But there are other ways too, and support is always going to a meaningful cause.  

thanks Gavin and Jean for your camera support :)

CUTIE WORKING ON HER NOVEL AT INTELLIGENTSIA/ ECLECTIC LA NATIVE (22-30) Ethnically ambiguous. Chill. Funky. Smart. An L.A. native who loves that the city is an ethnic mash-up like herself. Still “type A” enough to google “type A” to see if that describes her. She’s spiritual , an avid traveler, and has a super goofy side. Her karaoke playlist is entirely 90’s R&B hits. Fluent in Spanish. Great with improv and character acting.
