My Story

I am a Multidisciplinary artist based in Dallas, Texas. I have worked as a professional actor, graphic designer, and photographer all over the country. I first fell in love with the arts when I was accepted into the theater program at Bak Middle School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida. I studied acting ever since, attending the theater programs at Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts and SMU at Meadows School of The Arts. Upon taking classes at SMU, I was quickly immersed in the Texas theater scene thanks to the schools connection with Dallas Theater Center. While in school, I was also able to secure a job in Meadows as an Assistant Graphic Designer which uncovered my passion for the visual arts. After four years of learning and freelancing in both fields, I landed a job as the Junior Graphic Designer at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. I fell in love with the art of photography working closely with the company photographer, Mark Kitaoka. It was two years later when, I committed full-time to my own branding company, The Striped Heart with a mission to create art primarily for non-profit arts organizations. Little did I know, with that commitment, I would be offered a full-time staff position as a Brierly Resident Acting Company Member at Dallas Theater Center. I have since continued to hone and cultivate all of my passions as I hope to master all of my skills and truly live up to the name “Ace of All Trades.”
