From a young age, I knew I was meant to entertain as a New York actor. Whether it was performing for family or the neighborhood, competing on stage, or simply making people smile, acting and storytelling became my passion and purpose. Born a fighter—literally, as a severely premature baby—I learned early on that strength, perseverance, and resilience would shape my journey.
Life has taken me down many paths before fully embracing my love for acting, modeling, and pageantry. As a single mother of five, I’ve navigated challenges, sacrifices, and triumphs that have only deepened my determination. My experiences have shaped me into a strong, adaptable, and deeply empathetic person—qualities I bring into every role, performance, and project.
Pageantry became a transformative part of my life, giving me the confidence to step into the spotlight, the discipline to perfect my craft, and the platform to advocate for domestic violence awareness—a cause that is deeply personal to me. I use my voice—both figuratively and literally—to educate, inspire, and uplift those who need to find their own strength.
While acting and modeling are my primary focus, I’ve also dedicated myself to vocal training, working with one of New York’s top vocal coaches. Though I don’t necessarily aim to be a singer, I believe vocal mastery is an essential part of performance, allowing me to express emotion, enhance my stage presence, and continue growing as a well-rounded artist.
My journey hasn’t been traditional, but that’s what makes it powerful. I know what it means to fight for a dream, to push forward despite obstacles, and to redefine success on my own terms. Whether on screen, on stage, or behind the lens, I’m here to create, inspire, and leave an impact.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
