Fun fact 🎭✨ My dream growing up was to become an actress. I aspired to act in feature films, movies and television. I attended a performing arts high school in Manhattan (Take a Guess in the comments as to which 👀) to pursue that.

I transitioned into creating digital content with the mutually aligned aspiration and intention that initially gravitated me to that dream. The mission was to ultimately take positive advantage of having a platform to vocalize my perspective, utilize the power of my voice, my individualized magic, story and unique qualities I harness to contribute to the greater good of impacting the world in any beautiful way I could through being authentically who I am. I fell in love with the world of performing arts through becoming mesmerized with such an intricate yet seemingly effortless form of storytelling, the ability to captivate an audience with otherworldly emotions that allow the community to better understand, to empathize, to be left in awe, to feel all the more inspired by the story they just experienced being told in a way they wouldn’t otherwise fully absorb.

Acting was my first love as an enormously passionate little girl who although was deeply introverted and painfully burdened in an environment of dysfunction; was blessed with deep empathy, and the ability put myself in other people’s shoes because she feels the weight of the world so intensely and needed an outlet.

I went on to create digital content as a healthy form of escapism and self expression, built a personal brand unknowingly in the process that naturally led me back to my roots and fulfilling my initial dream in an alternate way. I grew a community of my own, an audience in the city I was born and raised in. I established a name for myself through  interlacing and embracing my dimensions of self. I created a platform to pour my heart into that led me to curate an career on my own terms, to walking on red carpets, to having my name on billboards, to national campaigns, to being invited to broadway shows.
