First job: Babysitting.
Favorite ways to spend your free time in CA: I enjoy hiking at the beach, visiting local farmers’ markets and attending local sporting events (Go Dodgers!).
Your biggest accomplishment and why: The impact our debut show, Men of West Hollywood, has had on viewers. It’s been so inspiring to see the support from people who have enjoyed the show and connected with the messaging. The struggles our cast vulnerably shared in the series resonated with many individuals. Additionally, a personal accomplishment was being recognized by Variety as one of the Reality Power Players for 2023.
The biggest obstacle you overcame: Balancing all of the different personalities on a set! It takes patience.
Someone who inspires you and why: Issa Rae. I’m obsessed with her. I’m so inspired by all of the projects she’s created, and it’s incredible what she’s done in both scripted and unscripted mediums. Only a few creators in the scripted space have made that jump!
Advice to someone pursuing a career path in what you do: It’s never too late to get started!
Favorite quote: “I am in the right place, at the right time.” ––Louise Hay
Something someone would be surprised to learn about you: I’m a huge sports fan! I was a California basketball player in my teens and still love college basketball. I grew up watching college football every night and have always loved sports.
