Bio

Actress, multi-hyphenated artist. Award-winning writer & filmmaker from Chilangolandia AKA Mexico City based in New York. I'm a graduate from the National Dramatic Art Conservatory in Mexico City, with a Masters in Drama Therapy and Conflict Resolution. Polyglot with a passion for languages and community. I've performed professionally on stage and in film in Mexico, Paris, Los Angeles, Sidney, and New York.

I combine my Masters with acting and multi-modal expressive art to bring mental health awareness and empower people through art and healing processes. My current project in development as a TV series, Jewels of Light, is based on my original novel with the same name. The short proof of concept has received more than 25 awards for Best Female Empowerment Short, Best Fantasy Short, and an honorable mention for original story. The main-theme of the film won Best Original Soundtrack and Best Original Song with composer Omar El Deeb.
