ABOUT ME

I once asked a dear friend of mine why I couldn't handle silence when having a conversation with others. She replied, because you have this instinctual need to entertain others and perform. At first, I was taken aback and a bit offended, but then I realized this is what I was meant to do. Ever since I could remember, I have always tried to make people smile or laugh. I act for others but for myself as well. I know I was placed on this earth with the purpose of being there for others. For me, the way I do that best is by making sure I can bring joy and provide a moment of escape from all the bad in this world. 

At New York University and during my time at Atlantic Acting School and Playwrights Horizons Theater School, I was able to nurture that purpose of mine as I used it to tell stories through the form of acting. Now I hope to make others feel a much wider range of emotions. 

I am a Mexican American actor, artist, friend, and a girl with the dream of bringing a smile to your face.
