my acting journey
Acting has been a throughline and unending passion in my life—but my relationship to it has changed.
After over 20 years in the industry, I stepped away for a time to reconnect with myself, my voice, and what it means to be an artist. I return now not with something to prove, but with something to share.
What I’ve found is a deeper truth: I still love acting and performing—not for the hustle, but for the honesty.
For the chance to drop into something real.
I return with new clarity, more integrity, and more of me.
My work now is rooted in presence and depth.
And the belief I still hold in the magic and transformative power of storytelling.
