​
I was born in Callao, Peru and grew up in the New York City area. I studied acting with Austin Pendleton and improvisation with John Monteith and Holly Mandel at HB studios. That allowed me to be a part of the very first HB Playwrights Foundation Ensemble. A true positive experience in my young acting career. Since then I have been pursuing a career in acting that involves projects that move and challenge me. I realized that even though I started acting as an adult, it was a passion early on in my life. Along with music, which put me in the music industry as an engineer/producer; those years were full of great, artistic and inspiring projects that molded my person. It was a wonderful, fulfilling, creative career with accolades and all. I feel all that experience has disciplined me to handle the ups and downs of the acting industry, as well as keeping me creatively open to develop my craft. I look forward to my future positively and am willing to meet and collaborate with creative people who inspire a positive, productive experience in my career and life.
