About Me
Welcome to my world, a place where I share my passions with you. From my acting career to my writing and producing projects, I am excited to show you the journey of my creative life.
From Mexico City to New York, I have spent the past 19 years traveling, performing and producing inspiring work in different languages and genres.
Join me on an inspiring adventure through the world of art and entertainment. As a multi-hyphenate artist, I have lived and performed in four of the world’s major cities: Mexico, Paris, LA & NYC and I am now proud to share my works and progress with you.
My provocative absurdist play Matilde & Lula, which address PTSD and the effects of war on the human psyche, toured in Australia to celebrate International Women’s Day.
Be sure to check out my trailer for Jewels of Light and stay tuned for the upcoming pilot for the series. I wrote, produced, and acted in the short, which has won over 25 awards, including Best Female Empowerment Short, Best Fantasy Short, and an honorable mention for Original Story. It's also been recognized for its original soundtrack and song, composed by composer Omar El-Deeb with vocals and lyrics by me.
