Picture
I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and raised in New York City. I took my first acting class while I was enrolled as a Directing student at The School of Visual Arts. It was taught by Susan Batson, and I quickly realized I had a strong passion and talent for acting, leading me to make the switch from being behind the camera to in front of it.

I continued my acting training at The School for Film and Television, focusing on improvisational and on-camera work. And soon after, enrolled in the two-year program at the William Esper Studio, where I studied Meisner Technique with Terry Knickerbocker. While at Esper, I had the privilege of studying with many great teachers including Maggie Flanagan, Nancy Mayans, Meir Ribablow, and William Esper.
 
My time at Esper was followed by classes with Caymichael Patten and Chuck Jones. In 2014, after taking a break from acting for a few years, I began studying with renowned teacher and director, Wynn Handman. Wynn has been my greatest teacher, and I continue to study with him, honing my skills as a character actor.  
 
In addition to my acting work, I have spent many years studying different forms of movement. I trained in Alexander technique, Pilates, Internal Martial Arts, Chi Gung, Boxing, Yoga, and I currently work as a NSCA-certified personal trainer at Prada Strength.
