Very much that music theater kid growing up, she studied Mathematics at NYU while auditing acting classes at Tisch. 

 

After graduating, she underwent her professional acting training with Terry Knickerbocker at the William Esper Studio while working to build the North American office of a global environmental NGO.  She also studied with the legendary Bill Esper in his Master Acting Class and sharpened her on-camera work with the brilliant Bob Krakower.

 

She has since earned numerous roles in film & TV and has also enjoyed the stage, having originated a role in the play FALSE STARS, which the NY Times reviewed positively.  She has workshopped new stage works for Obie Award-winning company Peculiar Works Project, the American Opera Project, The Tank NYC, NYTW, More Más Marami Arts, and more.

​

She continues to train with NYC acting coach Heidi Marshall, while learning French (and subsequently mixing up words with her Spanish and Tagalog), memorizing all the works of Philip Glass on the piano, volunteering with a wonderful organization that empowers Asian American youth through storytelling and arts, and watching a LOT of movies & shows... suggestions welcome!
