PERFORMING ARTIST

As a multi-hyphenate performer over the years I’ve found a love for singing, acting, and dancing. Honing my skills in all 3 from the time I was 5 years old. I hope that my passion and dedication to the craft is showcased in all the work that I do and the love that I have for telling thought provoking stories resonates with audiences. 


Now, being able to combine all 3 of my talents to host events from corporate gigs, to award shows and red carpet events, to tv series’s has been a blessing and I’m excited to take on this next chapter.

CREATIVE PRODUCER

As a writer/director/musician I produce all of my own work. From my short films to my music videos, I have a hands-on role seeing my projects through from idea, to execution, to the final marketable product.
