(OC California) My Journey / My Story

My parents fled a civil war in their country through the visa lottery. They had me, came to the states, and I grew up in northeast + south Philly. 10 days after I turned 18 I moved to NY by myself. The pandemic hit, I packed my bags and moved to LA alone at 19, working and studying as an actor. I shot some shorts, then a feature. The day I wrapped my first feature, my living situation fell through, and I went back to Philly for 4 months. I came back to LA, and built up my career to be a full time actor again. That same month, the writer strikes happened, and I had 7 different jobs in one year. I landed steady work and I started modeling and landed an agency, NYFW, and some LAFW shows my first year. Now I have my first acting job in 3 years coming up and I’m still modeling, doing content creation, and expanding my journey 🤩
