I’m an 80’s baby born and raised in Montgomery Co. Maryland aka the “DC Suburbs”…so Old Bay All Day!!! A melange of a Louisiana Creole (Native and African American) mother who was raised in East Africa and a Japanese father from Hiroshima.
Though I got my double degrees in Business and Japanese Language at the University of Maryland at College Park, upon graduating I moved to Japan for two years to nurture a closer relationship with my Japanese heritage. After returning to the US, I moved directly to NYC to then pursue my love of performance art. Coming from a family line of athletes and people who had more “traditional” careers, acting never really seemed like something I could seriously pursue as a career. Despite this, I felt that ever present itch would need to be scratched. I would go on to complete the two year Meisner program at Maggie Flanigan Studios in NYC to then continue, to this day, to hone my craft with the phenomenal teacher Deborah Hedwall.
Outside of acting, I’m a proud mom of two creative, goofy, loving boys, an avid fruit and veg gardener (I’m happy to discuss soil conditions and companion planting) , an all-around athlete having been a breakdancer, Jingle Dress dancer, competitive soccer player, swimmer and sprinter.
