Biography

Born in Chatham, New Jersey, USA, this talented individual's journey began in the Garden State before taking a five-year detour to Mumbai, India, where they spent their childhood.

Eager to explore the world beyond the classroom, they attended The Johns Hopkins University, where they earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations.

However, their true calling lay in the realm of the performing arts. Thus, they made the bold decision to pursue an MFA in Theater at the University of Southern California, rather than attending law school for Human Rights and Public Interest.

This multifaceted individual also found time to work at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) in San Francisco, where they played a crucial role in selecting and nurturing independent films by and for underrepresented voices for public television shows such as POV and Independent Lens.

Their artistic education continued with training at the esteemed William Esper Studio in Manhattan and the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco.

Today, they reside in both Los Angeles and New York City, where they continue to hone their craft and make a name for themselves in the world of theater.
