About me.

We are our ancestor’s wildest dreams.

Bio

I stand proudly on the many shoulders that paved the way for me to be here— not merely existing, but living boldly, creating with an audacious spirit. Immediately after completing my graduate training, I dove head first into classical storytelling. Three national tours and 25+ productions later, the world was brought to a halt by a global lockdown. Rather than twiddle my thumbs, I took another leap of faith and began to explore the voiceover industry— and what a fruitful exploration that has been. The way I see it is, time waits for no one. It’s up to us to explore the full range of our abilities, to turn obstacles into opportunities. Fast forward a bit, lockdown finally came to a close and I found myself face to face with yet another creative venture, directing. What I’ve come to appreciate about being a creative is this— the work is   never really done. What a terrifyingly glorious truth.
