Summary
I'm a versatile and accomplished former child actor with eleven years of experience in the film industry. I'm looking to find more stable work. I've worked in high-stress environments and proven the ability to build chemistry quickly, adapt to changing conditions, participate in dynamic collaboration, interpret and apply direction, follow complicated instructions on the fly, successfully communicate crucial and time-sensitive information, and engage in improvisatory thinking and problem-solving.

Personal
I grew up with seven siblings, and I'm highly family-focused. I love working with animals and kids. I've volunteered and done charity work several times over the years, including at the LA Mission, the LA Dream Center, and several places in Altadena for fire relief. I love anything that lets me be creative, but my main priority is stability.
