I was a Lego kid. I took that as a sign that I was destined to be an engineer—and I was. That is, until Covid forced me inside, physically and introspectively. I realized that Legos, for me, was about being curious, creating creative connections, letting my imagination run free, and, of course, the elaborate stories I’d make and perform for my siblings when I was done crafting my masterpieces. 

 

This realization led me to take acting classes during the lockdown, leave my corporate job, and dedicate myself to being an actor. I sometimes think of the characters I play as a series of building blocks: a subassembly in a more extraordinary story. It's a story that can bring joy and meaning to others, just as I used to do as a kid.

 

I love characters that bring out both the playful and painful sides of my inner child. Feeling connected to a character makes me feel alive and reminds me that acting is at the core of who I am. 

 

Let’s play together and build something magical.
