Up and Coming roles
Supporting actress in Independent Film (release 2014)
​
I have been cast to play Keisha Lezama in an independent film Tables Turn short film in January of 2014. I am so excited because it is my first film role. I have a deep passion and love for acting. I can’t remember ever not wanting to be an actress. I have dreamed and aspired to be an actress my whole life. When I was five years old I would love to practice an English accent trying to imitate an actress I watched in a movie.
I am currently in my third year as a student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where I am an acting/film major in the Motion Pictures Department. I believe attending the Academy of Art University with the courses I have taken has helped set a solid foundation for me as an actress. I have studied with Penny Templeton, who mission is to train and inspire the lion within, freeing the actor to take bold acting leaps and currently studying with celebrity acting coach Tracey Moore who is the founder of the Spirited Actor.
I believe I can play leading lady, real people in featured films, as well as independent films, and television.
