Since I came to this earth there has always been something different about me - standing out in uncomfortable ways and catching attention at times I wanted to blend in. Blossoming into my gayness and my unresting creativity, I took the aspects of myself I was taught to hide and utilised them as my superpowers. My goal in life when I was young was to chase a laugh, a reaction, or simply provoking a thought, and seemingly not much has changed. When I create my art through theatre and film, I work tirelessly to build a character who I root for diligently. Yes, if I was cast as a murderer, I’m going to find a way to root for them.

I particularly enjoy representing my community by bringing lived authenticity to queer characters, if anyone screams “GAY” and “FEM”, that’s certainly me. However, there are a billion parts of myself I can bring to a billion roles (like that one time I played a neo-communist straight man who repeatedly cheated on his long-term girlfriend (and yes I found a way to root for him, too)).

Life is short, and I don’t plan to stop my rolling train of passion for the craft of theatre and film for anyone. If I want to star in a queer horror-comedy, I’m writing one now, if I want to debut as a Drag Queen, I’m practicing my lip-sync number now, if I want to create a larger platform for queer artists in the entertainment space, I’m creating it now. I’m something strange, a little obscure, but definitely a human that urges to feel proximity to people and learn deeper about the world through the beauty of story. I’m like a really good slap in the face - I definitely leave a mark!
