I was born in New York City to immigrant parents from Spain, and grew up in midtown Manhattan. I started acting when my mother enrolled me in a Spanish speaking theatre group next to my house, around the age of four. I grew up bilingual; English at school, Spanish at home. I would travel frequently back to Spain to visit my extended family, and at the age of 13, moved with my family to Madrid. I kept acting in school plays, as well as outside school, in Madrid's community theaters.
In the mid 90’s, I came back to the US to attend Bard College, where I double-majored in Drama/Dance and Philosophy. After college, I moved to Portland, OR, where I worked with indie theater companies Liminal, defunkt and others. After a workshop with SITI Company, and a brief stint back in Spain, I returned to NYC to attend Columbia University's MFA Acting program. I studied with master teachers Kristen Linklater, Andrei Serban, Anne Bogart, Brian Kulick, Larry Singer, and many more.
I've worked in theaters in NYC and around the United States, performing Off-Broadway, Off-Off Broadway, and on tour, with companies like Monica Bill Barnes & Co., Red Bull Theater, Classic Stage Company, The Acting Company, Caborca, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, LaMaMa ETC, as well as many LORT houses like Berkeley Rep, Long Wharf Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, Arena Stage, Actor's Theatre of Louisville, Kansas City Rep, Two River Theater, and Cincinnati Playhouse.
In 2009, I began to record audiobooks and since then have over 90 under my belt, reading varied works in English by authors such as Cervantes, William Burroughs, Harlan Ellison, Carlos Castaneda, and e e cummings, among many others.
In 2013 I started to to work in Film and TV, starting with the feature film "Home" by Jono Oliver, and the short "Zzzzzzz" by Tarik Karam, which was part of the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival. Since then I've been lucky to work on network TV shows such as Blacklist, Person of Interest, The Good Fight, Blue Bloods, Madam Secretary, Mysteries of Laura and Daredevil.
When not acting, I used to work as a freelance stagehand and theatrical electrician for several theaters in NY, most habitually for St. Ann's Warehouse, as well as Columbia University's Graduate Theatre program.
