I took 3rd in Dramatic Interpretation (DI) at the National Speech & Debate Tournament. As a sophomore competing in the event for the first time, I became Desert Vista High School's first NFL (now NSDA) finalist.
Studied Shakespeare & Curation at the University of Westminster during the London Olympics. I got to see cultures around the world perform Shakespeare and study the way the world curates stories.
Became one of the few people with a BFA in Dramaturgy & Theatre History. Coming from a conservatory style program, I left having worked on classic literature, modern performance, and new plays for major theatre houses in the American Southwest
Began working in the L.A. immersive and experiential entertainment industry. Since 2016, I've worked with companies to develop theme-park attractions, escape rooms, video games, and theatre productions to usher in a new age of live performance.
My voice over career began in an instant when Facebook and Reebok offered me contracts. From there I've been a voice for Maybelline, Amazon, Gogoro, The California Dental Association, and more.
Accomplished a life long dream of working with TED. From the Pacific Northwest I was able to seek and work with people from all walks of life to share their "ideas worth spreading."
Partnered with a non profit to begin introducing speech and debate to STEAM education programs in Southern California.
