Born in Tokyo, Japan, I happily grew up in Santa Monica, CA, Tokyo and Kobe.

​

I later moved to New York City where I spent a good chunk of my adult years gaining professional training and experience as a classically-trained actor.  During this time, I was also selected by The Juilliard School to study in the Professional Program at BADA in Oxford, England.

​

Professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of working with amazing directors,

most notably 2x Tony-winning director Gerald Gutierrez.  My beloved mentors are Broadway’s Virginia Sandifur and Canadian actor/director Lionel Walsh.
