Queer actor + filmmaker. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Based in NYC.
About me: I’ve always wanted to tell stories.
Stories are my first love language. As I was growing up in Puerto Rico in the 90’s, my father’s hobby was to follow his kids with analog cameras, camcorders and sound recorders asking them to tell him stories. At age ten, he gave me my first pocket camera and by the time I got to college I went on to study Media Communications with a focus and area of concentration in Analog Photography. Developing photographs in the dark room made me rise in deeper love with the human expression. Which led me to study theater.
I studied theater and movement arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina before planting roots in the big city. I’ve been in NYC since 2015 working in both theater and film as an actor. In 2017, Hurricane María made direct landfall in Puerto Rico and I coped with the prolonged devastation by grabbing a camera and gear and documenting my grandfather a year into the aftermath in 2018. I premiered the documentary short in 2020, during the spike of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, I’ve been making my own films. I’m an actor and a filmmaker and I tell my stories navigating between the two.
