I began my acting career at the age of 10 and have been dedicated to performance ever since. I trained extensively as a full-time drama student throughout junior and senior high school, developing skills both on stage and behind the scenes. At 15, I made my film debut in Rad, and later expanded my career to include modelling as a teenager and young adult.

My on-screen experience is diverse, including work with animals such as police dogs, stage canines, and personal pets, as well as SSE driving roles. I have appeared in film, television, commercials, print, and online media, with credits ranging from SOC and background to featured performance roles. As a performer, I have modelled for runway, photography, hair, and makeup, and have contributed to projects spanning commercials, PSAs, movies of the week, webisodes, and development DVDs.

Beyond acting, I have a background in music and dance, having performed in concert and show choirs, voiceover recordings, radio, parades, and flash mobs. I am skilled in a range of acting styles, from comedic to dramatic, and trained in both method and classical theatre. In addition to performing, I bring experience in producing, directing, and scriptwriting.

I am passionate about storytelling and always eager to take on new creative challenges that push me to grow as an artist.

This is a detailed list of performances.
