Model
I’ve had the great pleasure to work with photographers across the states. It never ceases to amaze me what beauty can be created with the settings around us, the clothes we’re wearing and a lens.
Director
As an emerging director, I aim to craft stories that reflect our world today; which is diverse, challenging, and hopeful. With a focus on new works, I can explore our world which is constantly at odds with all things political, generational and inherited. I welcome collaboration and take pride in helping cultivate work at any stage of it’s process.
Directing credits include Sunshine and the Sea of Lost Things for Ghostlight Ensemble’s Make/Believe Festival and The Knotted Truth for Stage Left Theatre’s Off Stage Left reading series.
Playwright
In my continued effort to highlight and celebrate the Asian/Filipino(-American) experience as a storyteller, playwriting has become a natural extension of that. This has allowed me the creative freedom to craft stories from my particular point of view. In July 2021, my short play The White Room was selected as one of the recipients of Exposition Review’s Flash 405 contest which received an online publication and a production by Our Digital Stories.
Costumer
My passion for fashion has collided with my love of storytelling, resulting in work as a costumer. I firmly believe that in our everyday lives, we’re telling a story with what we choose to wear whether we’re conscious of it or not. This way of thinking is shown in my theatrical work with color stories and progression all relayed from the clothes on the actors’ backs.
