In 2020, when everything paused, I had time to reflect and felt drawn back to my first passion—acting. In late 2019, I’d apprenticed at a conservatory in Redding, California, and it felt right to return. The fall of 2020, I joined the Bachelor of Arts program at Bethel Conservatory of the Arts, where I learned that acting isn’t about fame but about truth, creativity, and connection. My training reshaped how I see art and life, showing me that real fulfillment comes from creating with purpose. "Creating from identity, not for it." Now, as I pursue a career in TV and film, my focus is on growth, authenticity, and storytelling that moves people. Through this community, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned over five years of professional training and experience—to help others grow in confidence, creativity, and freedom as artists.
