Originally from San Antonio, TX, my expansive imagination was expressed through many years of acting, which motivated me to move to New York City at the age of 18.  There, I completed conservatory training at the William Esper Studio with  Terry Knickerbocker.  Eager to understand more about my culture, I enrolled in NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a focus on Latin American Studies and Theatre Arts.  An acting role led me to the Sundance Film Festival, where I was motivated to broaden my storytelling through film making.   At NYU's Kanbar Institute of Film and Television, I immersed myself into all aspects of the film making process.  After completing my degree, I lived in Mexico for over three years, exploring the country’s rich and diverse arts, heritage, and way of life.  Inspired to create work that celebrates both Mexican and American culture, I returned to the U.S.A and collaborated with many wonderful artists in Ashland, OR.  I recently relocated to the Los Angeles area to deepen my dedication to amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities and telling stories that connect us all.
