I’m drawn to stories about people searching—for connection, for truth, for something just out of reach. My work is grounded in listening and responding, letting each moment unfold honestly. I focus on clear intention and staying present, so the performance stays alive. I’m especially interested in the humanity inside heightened or theatrical worlds. That balance is what excites me most as an actor.
