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.
