Biography

Hey There!
When people ask me to describe myself, I always return to my love of learning new things & being curious about the world around me. The way I digest art, train, am religiously disciplined and so hungry to elevate myself are the cornerstones of who I am and have always been.
A few facts about my life... I was born in the mountains of Caracas, Venezuela, with my early childhood cultivated in the colourful streets of the small village called El Junquito. My earliest memories are looking out the window & smelling the mountain air, hearing monkeys howl & birds chirp overtop the painted buildings.
While I was training and tumbling, I got into some of my other passions, which included marine biology (I ended up with a minor degree in it), Language learning, and the world of theatre and performance
Growing up with 2 creative siblings, our living room doubled as a spontaneous theatre. We'd put on plays, magic shows, dance concerts... (you name it) for our parents. I was a hyperactive kid who loved climbing trees, and in an attempt to put my energy to use, my parents enrolled me into gymnastics. I stayed with it for nine years, soaring above and beyond into the pre-Olympic level. It was during my time training as a gymnast that I learned the importance of discipline and gained my fierce athleticism.
The stage truly felt like my playground. I dived into piano and music theory, spending hours studying on my own. I could see how much it fulfilled me, and that led me to the desire to continue training. I went to New World School of the Arts in Miami, Florida, where I pursued acting with a music theatre emphasis and graduated Summa Cum Laude.
Post-grad life was a whirlwind of performing professionally and the pursuit of continued artistic excellence. Since graduation, I have been part of countless productions, donned the Dance Captain hat many a time, Indie films, commercials, equity shows, industrial dance performances, an opera, a ballet, and three national tours (my latest being 'A Chorus Line' in Tokyo, directed by original cast member Baayork Lee.
Giving back is also important; I teach and lead lessons in private voice, music theory, and piano. A majority of my mentoring takes place at South Broward High School, where I've spearheaded a master class series, tackling everything from song prep to Shakespeare. I made my guest-teaching international debut, 2022 in Osaka, Japan.
Currently, I reside in Washington Heights, New York. I love being in the city and collaborating with other artists and continuing my training and studies.
