My love for the arts started from a very young age when I used to create skits and "original" TV shows with my cousin to be performed for family and friends. That hobby quickly turned into a passion during my middle school and high school years where I starred in many of the school productions showcasing both my acting and singing abilities. I played many diverse roles ranging from Funny Thing's  Marcus Lycus to I Love Lucy's Ricky Ricardo.

 

It was not until my college years where my love for behind the camera took shape. I majored in Film during my undergraduate studies where I developed my skills for directing, editing, cinematography and my second passion, writing. That passion drove me to pursue my MFA in dramatic writing.

 

I've enjoyed some success with my writing. My feature length screenplay 'Please Spell D-E-A-T-H' has advanced in a number of writing/film festivals, most notably the Beverly Hills Film Festival.

 

Fast forward several years, to the present, where I've had the opportunity to rediscover my first love, acting. I'm truly beyond blessed and even though the road ahead is long, there's no other journey I'd rather be on!
