Hard to say what it was, but even as a kid, I knew my place wasn't in that small city in South Texas. Turns out, big personalities don't fit in small ponds, and after several years of community and competitive theater in high school, I graduated early and high-tailed it to LA. I started with acting and eventually began making my own YouTube content. While studying linguistics at UC Berkeley, I also began actively rapping in the SF Bay Area where I performed in numerous live shows and at competitive cash-prize rap battles. Eventually, I moved back to LA where I've continued with acting, YouTube, comedy rap, and now TikTok where I've amassed over 80,000 followers.
I've been in a number of short films and indie films, and I regularly churn out TikTok content as it gives me the freedom to produce and experiment without being beholden to anybody else. From 2017-2020, I was an active member of the musical segment of a LIVE Internet-/meme-themed comedy show called SHITPOST until the pandemic essentially killed live theater. I've since moved to Austin where I've begun self-producing Web series, live hosting drag shows, and live hosting/performing in burlesque shows!
I perform both on stage, on screen, and online. I'm also available for voice over acting! Check out my resumé for details.
Since arriving in Austin, Texas, I've started writing, producing, and starring in my own Web series, That Show About Quarantine which you can find on YouTube. I'm currently writing season 2 right now! I've also become the permanent host of the traveling burlesque+drag troupe, Starlet Burlesque (IG: @starletburlesque) which has also given me the connections that have led me to host other live drag/burlesque performances around town, including recurring ones like "A Whole Latke Drag!" and "Ada Vox & The Vixens' Drag Brunch"!
