Embedded Files
I am a actor, director, playwright, and educator of Mexican and Indigenous descent. I was born and raised in Oregon but also lived in California for over a decade working in film, tv, and theatre. All of these artistic and cultural facets heavily influence my work and how I examine and create theatre through multiple lenses. I strive to create work that amplifies BIPOC voices and artistry and addresses issues facing underrepresented communities. My work has received rave reviews from such notable publications as The LA Times, Backstage West, LA Weekly, The Oregonian, Oregon Arts Watch and the Willamette Week. In addition to working in theatre, I've also worked extensively in Film, Television, and Commercials, past clients include NBC-Universal, Netflix, A24 Films, The Independent Film Channel, The Learning Channel, MGM Films, Film4 Productions, Kaiser Permanente, Comcast/Xfinity, The Neighborhood Film Company, Browstein Group, Square One Productions, Coates Kokes Agency, Allied Video Productions, and USC School of Cinemea-Television.
