the age of thirteen, spending three years studying the craft at the American Conservatory Theatre and at the Acting and Performance Institute Program at UCLA. In Spring 2016, she graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology before going on to work in several short films and new media projects. She has simultaneously been attending improv and acting classes at Speiser/Sturges studio for the past four years, and recently became a member of the Screen Actors Guild.
