Getting to Know Me
I am a California born Asian American of a Chinese descent. Pursing a B.A. in Drama/Film & Media Studies in UC Irvine. Was previously trained in Theater/Swing at the prestigious University Prep. The roles I ranged from was playing Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland to Mel from Neil Simon's The Prisoner of Second Avenue. Originally going to major in Drama; however, decided to major in Computer Science. It wasn't till my oldest and long time friend Shannon Funderburk brought me back into Drama.
I believe that acting has been monopolized by a single race. He is determine show everyone doesn't need to succumb to stereotypical roles and that we are all equally fit to go for a part and that no one should tell you different. If whitewashing is fine in today's society why can't Hollywood can be "yellow-wash"; race should be the only main factor in acting.

Born in Diamond Bar, California moved around till I came back to California where I got into Drama in my freshman year of high school; where I got the lead role of my high school's first play. From there was drawn into the theatre life and played various roles over the years from Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland to The Diary of Anne Frank's Mr. VanDann. Going into college I started as a Computer Science major but quickly changed when the curtain called. From there I trained under Don Hill, Jane Page, and Richard Brestoff.

Goals and Dreams
I'm a 2017 Graduate Drama student working on internships and acting/production jobs. I want to be able to bring my talents to the world by showing actors that "whitewashing" shouldn't be in this industry. I want to go to Hollywood and be able to buy a mansion so I can retire my family so they don't have to work. I want to be recognized for who I am and my work without having my race be the issue.
