HOLLYWOOD HYPHENATE.

From hosting at red carpet premieres to reporting on set at the newest Disney movie to writing my own feature scripts and TV pilots to acting in commercials, web, and theatrical projects, I believe in telling stories.

We have the screen, stage, and page to make meaning in this world so let's educate, enlighten, empower, and entertain.

ACTRESS-HOST-WRITER

passion for stories 


AFTER GROWING UP IN THE MELTING POT OF SAN FRANCISCO, I DEVELOPED A DEEP-SEATED DESIRE TO TELL HUMAN INTEREST STORIES. i sought to represent the voices, backgrounds, and faces around me.  

In college, i created my own major at harvard university TO STUDY HOW WE TELL STORIES TO connect  OUR COMMUNITIES AND CULTURES. 

i called it narrative in rhetoric & performance.

this enabled me to enroll IN INTERDISCIPLINARY COURSES THAT COVERED (to name a few) rhetoric, SCREENWRITING, PUBLIC NARRATIVE, PUBLIC SPEAKING, BROADCAST COMMUNICATIONS, improvisational acting, VOCAL PRODUCTION, SPANISH FILMMAKING, EAST-ASIAN CINEMA, AND FOLKLORE & MYTHOLOGY.  

FOLLOWING INTERNSHIPS IN NEWS STATIONS AND EXPERIENCE PRODUCING- shooting-WRITING-HOSTING-EDITING MY OWN TALK / TRAVEL SHOWS FOR THE COLLEGE CAMPUS,  I DECIDED TO PURSUE A MORE CREATIVE ROUTE WITH MY LOVE OF FINDING A GOOD STORY. 

I BEGAN WRITING MY OWN tv SCRIPTS and screenplays, CREATING CHARACTERS based on people I KNEW AND inspired by experiences THAT I EITHER READ ABOUT, HEARD ABOUT, OR DREAMED UP.  

I ALSO GAINED MORE EXPERIENCE ACTING, LEARNING TO BRING CHARACTERS TO LIFE OFF THE PAGE IN TANDEM WITH OTHERS' THRILLING VISIONS. 

once i graduated, i moved out to los angeles without a car, apartment, or job. i just had my dreams, my stories, and my faith. 

i started off with an internship in a tv show writer's room, then went on to assist a development executive at a production pod on the disney-abc lot. 

afterwards, i got accepted into the historic nbcuniversal east and west coast page programs and opted to stay in la. i worked on the last season of "the tonight show with jay leno," watching and carefully studying the elements and necessary ingredients that composed a late-night talk show. 

during my time in the program, i rotated among different departments and concurrently auditioned for theatrical, commercial, and web projects in the city. nearing the end of my program, I decided to pursue acting, hosting, and writing full-time and began working as a host for cctv's entertainment news show, "culture express."

with "culture express," i've gotten a chance to report live at events in the heart of hollywood, including red carpet movie premieres, awards shows, tv show set visits, and comic-con + wondercon! 

i also started working my dream job, for my dream company as a movie surfer for disney channel, traveling to the sets of the latest disney, pixar, and marvel films. i love going on set to interview the cast and crew as well as conduct my own stunts! 

all the while, i continue to write new scripts based off of the interesting characters i meet and different experiences i have from the many facets of the entertainment industry. 

in my first two years in la, i've had many #ladventures, juggling the life of an actress-host-writer. all still without a car. 

it's an exciting journey and i'm glad you're here for the ride!
