I was born in Tokyo and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I originally studied classical/bel canto singing and have since built my acting career with extensive experience in new works by composers and playwrights. 

I am the star of San Francisco Director, H.P. Mendoza's arthouse/experimental horror film, I Am a Ghost, which garnered high acclaim and numerous awards such as Gravitas Ventures. An original cast member of Jason Craig and Dave Malloy's (Banana Bag & Bodice Co.) award-winning song play: Beowulf—A Thousand Years of Baggage having toured with the show in UK/QC/NYC/Boston, MA/Berkeley, CA.
