Since then she has grown a vast set of skills which she further trained for at Lehman College. She graduated with an honors Multimedia Performing Arts Degree, with a concentration in theatre, in the spring of 2022.
Due to her fierce training, she has developed diverse talents which she continues to perfect. She's a magnetic actor (on-stage, on-camera, voice-over), a visionary director, a poet, a stage manager, a visual and digital art creator, and much more.
Her goal with each of her passions is to use them as instruments to tell the stories that emerge from within her heart and connect with people on a level of being human. It doesn't matter if she's working in the spotlight or behind the scenes, she always manages to support her team while working the task at hand.
Her mission is to inspire, be inspired, and spread love through the means of her artistry.
