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!
