BACKSTAGE!

HOME!

I am from beautiful Monterey, CA! I love hiking, going to the beach, and living a healthy life style. My workout of choice is always hot yoga and I love cooking and baking (and make the best healthy banana bread and home-made ice-cream!)

ART!

My other passion is graphic design! I have always been driven by my creativity and love painting, pottery, calligraphy, cutting and dying hair, and all things advertising. In 2023, I spent a semester in Barcelona, Spain at Elisava School of Design where I improved in both my art skills and my Spanish!

MUSIC!

In my free time I enjoy going to concerts, music festivals, and jazz clubs! My most listened to artists include the Rolling Stones, Billy Joel, Bob Marley, Lauryn Hill, Ella Fitzgerald, Dorris Day, Norah Jones, Laufey, Steve Lacy, and Noah Kahan.

TRAVEL!

After studying abroad, I solo-traveled for 2 months! It was quite the adventure and I learned so much about myself and humanity that I have carried into how I perceive the world as a more well-rounded performer. I also was able to see a number of operas, cabarets, performative art shows, and West End productions. I love traveling and hope that my career will allow me to continue in some regard!

Friends!

I am an ENFJ and Enneagram 2 (helper.) I consider myself to be pretty extroverted but I enjoy staying in and playing cards just as much as I do going out with friends! I love surrounding myself with people of all different walks of life and am thankful to have friends from all over the world!

FAMILY!

I grew up on our family farm where we farm row crops and specialize in artichokes! My father’s family is Swiss-Italian and Portugese and my mother is Jamaican and sought refuge in America when she was a child. I have three younger brothers who I am very thankful for!
