Commercial
On screen & voice
I trained at The Old Globe / USD MFA Acting Program and at LAMDA, where I graduated with Distinction in Classical Acting. My work spans stage, screen, voice and long-form narration.
I have a strong background in movement and physical performance — stage combat, dance, clown and martial arts — and I teach stage combat at LAMDA alongside senior faculty.
I grew up in Oakland, California, running through the redwoods and occasionally talking to them. I moved to London in 2021, making the questionable exchange of sunshine for a theatre scene.
