ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is rooted in the belief that storytelling is a transformative force. As an actor, director, and educator, I explore the intersections of physicality, character, and narrative to inspire empathy and foster connection. Whether on stage, in film, or through visual art, my creative process celebrates diversity and encourages audiences and students alike to engage deeply with their craft and the world around them.
