Summary
I am a storyteller at my core, fueled by a strong foundation in performance, writing, and collaborative devising techniques. I have recently graduated with a degree in Theatre and Communications at Emerson College. With early professional acting experience in Brazil across stage and television, I developed an early understanding of the emotional impact of storytelling. Creativity informs the way I support and contribute to the work environment, with two years of experience across digital marketing and entertainment organizations, including ArtsEmerson, Crow Comedy, and Skybound Entertainment. I seek to expand my understanding of storytelling as it evolves and use my platform to improve our world.
