What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite medium depends on the day, but I always crave humor. I'm most drawn to character-driven comedy because art really imitates life...and life is HILARIOUS! I love performing improv and musical improv, screenwriting, making music, choreographing, making online content, and building sketches where I get to be the writer, producer, actor, and director. This year, I’m focused on bringing 4 self-created projects to life through creative collaboration...and I’m just getting started!

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration everywhere! I grew up in a family where humor was our love language and coping mechanism - my dad's goofy and sarcastic, my mom's sharp and witty, and that shaped how I see the world. I'm constantly finding compelling stories in the mundane, chaotic, and in-between moments. Inspiration comes from friends, film, the kids I mentor, the barista down the street, and the plethora of talented artists and creatives around me. My Notes app is basically a graveyard of ideas.

What would you do with $25,000?

To make more art...plain and simple. I want to bring the projects I’m already building to life: shooting my comedic pilot, developing and staging my one-woman show for Fringe Fest, and creating new short films, music, and comedy. It would allow me to pay collaborators fairly, expand production value, and access the time and resources independent artists rarely get. More than anything, it would help turn momentum into something lasting, and hopefully something that moves people.
