Mission Statement
To uplift those around me and carry a positive spirit from set to set. To enhance the emotional pull of each project I am involved in.
WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE
My personal heroes of film are those who are able to find comedy in the serious and sometimes tragic parts of life. Three role- models of mine, whom I believe grace this line beautifully are Pheobe Waller-Bridge, Greta Gerwig, and Taika Waititi. Working in this genre, some would call "dramedy" is a huge goal of mine both acting- wise and in my writing.
THE TYPES OF ROLES I AM LOOKING TO...
