about me…
Hello, welcome :)
I get that I should probably write something artsy and professional on here about who I am and why I pursue this craft, so you can get to know me a little bit.
the thing is though, i look back at my journey and life is just so crazy. how do i pack it all into a little blurb? maybe that’s my issue—feeling the need to share everything. yes, i might have an oversharing issue.
so, i’ll keep it simple: i’ve always wanted to be actor. always, for as long as i remember watching movies.
i don’t know where the desire came from, but i always felt it inside me. intensely. i actually thought that everyone felt this way—that it was normal to dream of being an actor. guess that’s not true.
well, i grew up in an immigrant household and studied civil engineering. i liked it sometimes, math was actually my favorite subject as a kid. but, quickly learned as an adult: being good at something doesn’t necessarily mean happiness and fulfillment.
i find that feeling with acting. i like being vulnerable, living deeply, (maybe oversharing.)
i just like honest connecting.
we all live this one life. it would be a shame not to feel seen, heard, and known, i think.
as an actor, my only hope is to serve in that way. create space for others. speak truth. share stories.
recent work …
After I graduated from UC Davis with my civil engineering degree, I made the pivot to seriously pursue my dream, in which I ended up at The Meisner Technique Studio. I formally trained under Jim Jarrett, the last teaching protege of Sanford Meisner. My recent credits include:
Filipino-American short film “Avelino,” which won Best Short and Score in the Washington Film Awards 2022. (Also, my first SAG project!)
Lead role in experimental short film “Black Cherry,” where I was nominated for Best Lead Actress in the Sanford Meisner Film Festival 2023.
Multiple roles in the San Francisco cast of Netflix’s Stranger Things: The Experience, including playing the lead role of Eleven in the immersive show’s finale in 2022.
Sole recurring role of Morgan Gaunte in the San Francisco cast of Fever’s seasonal Halloween immersive event House of Spirits: A Cocktail Soirree in 2024.
