Guatemalan | Danish | Confused

A befuddled business major has an identity crisis in college.

I was born in St. Louis, MO and raised in Eden Prairie, MN by two first-generation immigrant parents and had a pretty eclectic mix of aspirations growing up: I wanted to be an NFL quarterback, a Catholic priest, and an epidemiologist. Naturally, I settled on acting.

I began my training in high school at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, with an emphasis on character creation and Uta Hagen technique. While attending Washington University in St. Louis (yes, it’s a mouthful to say every time) I focused on Stanislavsky, in-depth character analysis, and a teaching practicum of Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed through the Performing Arts Department. I also studied on-camera acting techniques with Michael James Reed.

Since then, I have been acting in films, series, and commercials in Los Angeles and abroad. Currently, I study Meisner technique with John Lacy’s Acting Studio in West Hollywood.
