I was born and raised in LA and have loved every minute of it. I have always had an affinity for the performing arts and have been using my body for expression since I was very young. I am a trans-nonbinary artist, clown, actor, mime, and overall person who aims to create spaces for people to feel safe expressing themselves in all their weird glory. I utlilize my training and incorporate it alongside compassion and understanding into all of my classes. I have been working with kids for over 10 years and will continue to create opportunities for children to create their own art on their terms.
I have trained in Clown, Mime, Slapstick, Bouffon, 20 Movements, Viewpoints, Gymnastics and Dance. I have worked with people such as Giovanni Fusetti, Alexandra Billings, Eric Davis, and Dan Griffiths. These people have helped shape who I am as a performer and as a person.
I have performed in countless clown shows all over Los Angeles, creating my own characters and acts and putting them up wherever possible. I have performed at The Elysian Theatre, The Yard Theatre and Theatre of Note. I have worked on plays such as Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry, Lysistrata by Aristophones, and The Goat or Who is Sylvia? By Edward Albee.

I played Pa Ubu, did my own makeup and designed my costume. I was Assistant Director as well.
