long time no see!! 😅

what have i been up to?

- acting: i've had a blast getting to lead a few shorts these past months - always grateful to dive into new characters, gain experience, & connect with such talented groups :) especially excited about the visually poetic coming-of-age drama "reaching out" and i CANNOT wait to share more! plus, getting to audition for some really exciting opportunities (huge thank you to my amazing team as always ❤️) & feeling more and more proud of the work i put out as i continue to grow as an actor 😁

- freelance production assistant work: SO so fun and rewarding to work hard, meet suuuper cool fellow creatives, and contribute to large sets while gaining a better understanding of the inner workings of a set 💪

- college: although it feels like a lot to juggle oftentimes, i'm incredibly privileged to be working towards my bachelor's at all, and i'm enjoying exploring subjects i didn't think would appeal to me originally. even still am looking forward to being DONE in 4 more semesters 😎

- life: buc-ees x2 (i get it now guys lol), road trippin', astronomy in my dad's backyard observatory, my directorial debut on a friend's pilot, seeing family, celebrating friends, & more 😇

i hope you're doing well & that ur summer is off to a great start :)🌞

happy new year! 🥳

i didn't do much posting this year, but i did live a lot of life! immensely grateful for so many wonderful opportunities, each connection i've had the pleasure of making, memories with friends & loved ones, and for all that i've learned about myself and about navigating the world. thank you to everyone who supported me & who made my year special ❣️

2025 taught me a lot about the importance of not only being consistent in actions but in attitude and mindset. i learned to juggle new priorities as a newly rent-paying adult (lol) while pursuing the career i love so deeply and a college education, and i'm proud of the seeds i've planted throughout different facets of life 🌱

going into 2026 with so much excitement for what's ahead! wishing you the happiest new year, one of abundance, growth, balance, & new experiences:)

On The End. Got to make a beach bounce with my bb @xalexzuccx, send up my first moonbox thanks to the heroics of @paul_wallace37 and @n_ate_, and enjoy Montauk real estate with @kelseyraeedwards without the nuisance clauses! Really proud of this one and those who made it; especially honored to have met the peaceful warrior, @ariselinger, and to learn so much from brilliant DP @conor.d.murphy

We had our first post production meeting this afternoon, which reminded me I forgot to shout out the crew after I posted about the cast. I was blessed with an amazing crew of multitalented folks, some new and some familiar, and I feel blessed to have worked with them all. We got an 11 page script shot gorgeously in about 9.5 hours and it was an overnight. @christian_cordes_ recorded sound and is editing (yet again), @n_ate_ shot and lit the hell out of this thing, @paulschack brought his stage directing prowess to his AD role, Adrianna was a picture perfect AC and helped with some PA duties, Darian Prezioso was invaluable as our lone PA and errand runner, and @orangeo_c pulled double duty producing and acting and it really took everyone working at a high level to achieve what we achieved. Post prod. should be done in early to mid Oct. so reach out for private links :)

ONE MORE HOUSE
Coming Soon

While trick or treating on Halloween night, a young couple stumble upon a haunted house with disturbingly realistic displays. Only to realize that the horrors inside might be more real than they could ever imagine.
