Born to Create

I first felt the warmth of a spotlight at a local community theatre in Newport Beach, California when I was seven years old. When that glowing circle encapsulated me, there was no hiding from the truth– it was a safe space to be exposed.

I dedicated my spare time to rehearsals, voice lessons, and acting classes to fine tune my craft. I attended a performing arts high school (OCHSA) and fulfilled my childhood dream of receiving my BFA from NYU Tisch for musical theatre.

After graduating from NYU Tisch,  I realized the importance of my voice and the lack of representation for the LGBTQ+ community I am lucky to be a part of. I was inspired to create my own stories that shed light on under represented voices. One of these stories was a five episode web series called Daddy Issues. I produced, directed, and acted in the pilot.

I moved back to Los Angeles to further my knowledge in writing for television as well as to continue pursuing acting. I continue to take classes at The Writing Pad and Script Anatomy for writing and Krater Studios for acting. In 2021, I became a finalist for Lena Waithe’s Hillman Grad mentorship in its inaugural year, and placed in several other writing competitions.

I identify as gay, non-binary, and Jewish with no preference on pronouns (he, she or they).

I consider myself both an actor and a writer and I’m compelled to be a vessel for originality, authenticity, and stories that need to be shared.
