I am currently traveling across North America as Jane Seymour in SIX THE MUSICAL's Aragon Tour. Catch us in a city near you during the 2022-2023 season!

In the summer of 2019, I made my Off-Broadway debut in BROADWAY BOUNTY HUNTER, directed and choreographed by Jennifer Werner, and written by Tony nominee Joe Iconis, Lance Rubin, and Jason "SweetTooth" Williams.

While at Penn State, I developed a love for originating roles in new works. One of my favorites has been Rat in Joe Iconis' LOVE IN HATE NATION, which I got to revisit in its World Premiere at Two River Theater (directed by John Simpkins and choreographed by Mayte Natalio). Another opportunity to play came in THE LUCKY BOY by Kirsten Childs, where I got to sing some incredible music as Almastasa. Most recently, I originated the role of the Kid in Denver Center's World Premiere production of WILD FIRE, written by Jessica Kahkoska.
In addition to performing, I am also a songwriter. In 2018, I co-wrote RESULTS WILL VARY*, an original musical for Penn State University's New Student Orientation. The show has been performed for over 6,000 incoming students over the past four summers. I was also selected to participate in the JOHNNY MERCER SONGWRITERS' PROJECT, a prestigious program where songwriters spend a week learning from Tony and Grammy Award nominated master teachers. This year's teachers were Craig Carnelia, Lindy Robbins, and Andrew Lippa.

Both on and off-stage, my Filipino roots are incredibly important to me. I served as Co-Cultural Director of the Penn State Filipino Association and directed a cultural showcase titled Barrio Fiesta: Crazy Rich Filipinos. The show centered around the celebration of Filipino culture, heritage, and community.

I am an artist who is passionate about creating work that prides itself in inclusivity and creativity, always looking to bring myself into the work
