As an actress

As an actress, I learn to inhabit different lives and communicate truths beyond words.

Acting makes me feel most human and most present. The vulnerability necessary to take part in performance is exactly what teaches me most about courage, honesty, and human connection.

Theater allows me to channel my empathy and creativity while exploring emotions I might otherwise suppress. It challenges my perfectionism and teaches me to prioritize my emotional presence and genuine joy on stage with both cast and audience.

As an Visual Artist

As an artist, I work across various mediums (drawing, painting, digital).

Art, for me, is a conversation between discipline and chaos. Ironically, my art is where my most obsessive, precise self emerges. I am methodical and sometimes even rigid, but it’s that structure that gives my expression room to expand.

The creative process often begins with frustration, be it a lack of originality or a technical challenge, but I’ve learned to welcome that discomfort and work through it.

As a Writer

I choose to write, because I believe that defining art is most often a futile endeavor, or at least an endless one, but it will always tell a story regardless of its medium.

Writing is the only way I can understand myself, and through it, I wish to further understand the world around me and express what it means to me.
