About

​

I've been told I'm too tongue in cheek. If anything I'm too tongue out the cheek. And if you get it, you get it!

​

I'm  an actor, I sing when inspired, and I love living life. I might appear to be all giggles, but I can get quite serious when it comes down to it. I find life tragically hilarious, I like doing work that reflects that. I'm Mexican on my dad's side, Cuban on my mom's,  both are social workers. This heavily informs the kind of work I do. 

 

I grew up in Los Angeles and I'm always sentimental about it. I call myself a recovering Catholic. I've got some of the values, all of the guilt. I've only recently discovered that a lot of people don't laugh as much as I do, so I've been finding a lane in comedy. I love the sense of absolute freedom it gives me. Let me be funny and sincere till the day I die!​​​
