Notable Credits / Bio

A native Houstonian with Liberian roots, I am an actor and storyteller committed to serving, uplifting, inspiring, and empowering people to make our communities, societies, and world better. Since graduating from Carnegie Mellon University with a major in business and minor in drama, I have become an award-winning actor and filmmaker. After graduating from the iO West Theatre Training Center on a full scholarship, I began performing regularly at The Second City Hollywood as a member of the long form improv house team Stick Pics. During the pandemic, I curated and hosted my own show on Twitch and was a member of the ensemble cast of Now, Now, Now, an award winning multimedia thriller. Though acting is my number one passion, it is my joy to create powerful content and to tell stories about underrepresented people, places and things. To date, I have created and produced the web series Shrink Wrapped, for which I was nominated ‘Oustanding Lead Actress in a Comedy’ by LA Web Fest, wrote, produced, directed and starred in the short film COIN which is the winner of a WorldFest Houston Bronze Remi Award, and most recently, produced and directed the short film Mama Wanna, a We Make Movies Film Challenge winner. Most recently, I starred in the Apogee ad for their ClipMic  Digital 2, a PSA for the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office and a digital media campaign for the active eye wear company Goodr.
