Welcome to my new website! Thanks for stopping by.
For the last year or so, I've wanted to completely revamp my site. Gifted with time and a web development platform that gives me full creative control over my design, I’ve been able to do just that. Really happy and proud of the final result.

I worked on a short film my first year at DePaul University, and, after making the film festival rounds, it is finally available for all to watch!
The film uses a mix of live action, stop motion, and visual effects to tell an imaginative interpretation of what goes into the making of a human being. It draws inspiration from American director and musical choreographer Busby Berkeley, as well as American cartoonist Rube Goldberg. It is also *fun fact* the first collaboration between The Theatre School, the College of Computing and Digital Media, and DePaul’s School of Music.

Brooklyn is a war zone, coffee is extinct, the moon has disappeared, and angels are trading in their wings for machine guns. Without the protection of her guardian angel, Marisol Perez begins a surreal journey through the chaos of a crumbling world to find her way home.
Join us today and tomorrow for Fragmented Light Theater’s virtual production of Marisol. I will be playing the role of Women with Furs, as well as other odd voices here and there.
Friday, September 4 @ 7:00 PM CST

Graduated with an MFA in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul University!
Grateful for all the support, now and always. It’s been a wild ride, but I know I am a better person thanks to my time at The Theatre School.
As my Commencement Slide read: Happy Graduation Day from my home to yours! Saved $100 and rewore my old cap and gown. Greenest graduation I never went to. Congrats Class of 2020!

THE THEATRE SCHOOL

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working with a group of artists, workshopping Nancy Garcia Loza’s Rascacielos. The play centers on Lilia, a fierce Veracruzana living in Chicago, and her relationship with her daughter, Agustina, a talented singer determined to pursue her ever-changing dreams despite her mother’s well intentioned, but conflicting wishes.
Tune in today at 12:00 PM CST to hear a Zoom reading of the latest iteration of Rascacielos. Contact me if you’re interested in coming, and I will e-mail you the Zoom link.

"measure for measure"

Our exciting run of Christopher Fry's Ring Round the Moon has sadly come to an end. The British farce centers around the dramatic events that unfold during a night of music and dance. Think: hidden plots, mistaken identities, love triangles, and moral dilemmas.
I played the 75-year-old matron of the house, Madame Desmortes. Confined to a wheelchair, I am accompanied everywhere I go by my dear friend and companion, Capulet. Bored and lonely, I orchestrate a plan to add a splash of confused excitement to the evening and, ultimately, ensure a series of happily ever afters.
This was, by far, one of the most challenging, fun, and rewarding roles I've had to date. Check out some production photos for a taste of the hilarity and revelry.
