Summary

I'm an aspiring model with a deep passion for acting—a craft I believe is as much about transformation as it is about truth. My love for performance began not in the limelight but in the quiet glow of vintage television and silver screens. I’ve always been captivated by the power of silent films from the early 1900s—how actors like Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Louise Brooks could express emotion with a glance or a gesture, telling whole stories without saying a word. That era taught me that expression comes from within, and it doesn't always need dialogue to resonate.

Some of my earliest and most cherished memories are of watching *The Twilight Zone* with my grandmother. We’d sit together, sometimes holding hands during the spookier episodes, completely engrossed in the show's eerie beauty and moral depth. It was through those stories that I first began to understand how actors must embody not just a role, but the entire spectrum of a character’s humanity—their light, their flaws, their fears, and their dreams.

Acting, to me, is the ultimate challenge and honor. Whether in front of a camera or an audience, I aim to bring authenticity and depth to every role, and to always stay curious about the stories we carry within us.
