From California, I brought hopes, dreams, and a dance bag to NYC, evolving from dancer-actor to award-winning voice actor, producer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of SOVAS, I am passionate about amplifying human voices worldwide! Boundaries don't define me.

With thanks to @rudygaskins1.bsky.social No two paths are the same, and there’s no perfect timeline. Like learning to write, you don’t really get it until you’re at the keyboard, figuring it out as you go. Keep writing!

DEI isn’t a trend or a handout, it’s the engine of progress. Cutting funding doesn’t just hurt initiatives; it silences talent & stifles the world. Companies like Ben & Jerry’s, Costco, Apple, and Netflix stand firm, and so do we. The real win? When DEI isn’t a label, it’s just the way it is.
