Projects
Kira - “Joshua Tree”
A group of 20-somethings escapes to a remote Joshua Tree desert Airbnb for a weekend getaway, but as night falls, unsettling phenomena begin to unravel their sense of reality. Isolated and tense, they must confront the growing terror of the unknown, unsure whether what's haunting them is human... or something far worse.
Auntie - “Piece Full” Leo Rising Play Festival
I was one of the actors selected to participate in the 2023 Short Play Festival with Leo Rising Theatre Company. A series of 11 unrelated ten minute plays ranging from the comedic to the dramatic to the absurd and all the way back again. Three show in two days and the ticket supply is limited!

Bianca- “Journalism 101”
I previously took part in the award winning pilot for Journalism 101, which is the story of a disgraced former news anchor who is now teaching at the university he graduated from and trying to save the failing Journalism department from being dismantled by the greedy and revenge motivated Dean. I’ve linked the trailer HERE as well as the actual pilot itself, which is now available to watch on Amazon Prime!
Amber - “Valley of Light”
Valley of Light had its world premiere during the Annual Hollywood Fringe Festival in June in Los Angeles, CA. Valley of Light is a folk based musical set during the end of the world as two siblings embark on a journey of self discovery while attempting to save their mother from a mysterious beast that is the cause of all the world’s current problems…or is he?

Geeks of Color
I was previously a News Reporter for the news outlet Geeks of Color, whose mission statement is "To create an inclusive environment for Geeks of Color while uplifting diversity within pop culture." Below is a direct link to all of the stories I wrote while I was part of their team.
Jolene: The
Response
When I introduce myself I tend to ask "Do you know the song "Jolene" by Dolly Parton?" in an attempt to help whomever I'm speaking with learn how to say my name. As much as I love the song, it always bothered me that Jolene is often made out to be the villain when in reality, Dolly's no-good, eye-wandering, sleep-talking boyfriend is the true antagonist of the tale. Below is the link to my cover of Jolene, but from the perspective of Jolene herself.
