BIO
ALOHA!!!
Welcome!
Have you ever met a little lady luau? Well, now you have. I was made in the islands of Hawai’i with roots from Japan, Korea, Philippines, China, and Sweden.
I’m an actress, writer and director. I’ve had the passion to be an actress since a very young age. I remember, every day after school, I’d come home and watch re-runs of Happy Days. I recall thinking, “That’s what I’m going to do.”
I love telling stories and affect healing through laughter and tears.
I’ve been blessed to study with world renown teachers. Among the greatest is Larry Moss, whom I’ve studied with for ten years. I’ve also had the honor to work with French Master Clown Philippe Gaulier from Paris, who invited Sacha Baron, one of my heroes.
I’ve created several short films and I also produced The Golden Hour, an Asian comedy sketch group. We performed at IO West, UCB and Comedy Central. I am also an “idiot” clown and performed in a group called Deep Squeeze.
Well, now you know a little more about me. Hopefully, we’ll be able to work together soon.
Mahalo & Aloha!
