Theatre
Playwright, Actor, and Solo Performer
I use solo performance as a storytelling and journalistic medium to engage audiences and illuminate our shared human experience across class, race, and circumstance. My work explores themes of greed, marginalization, and inequity, while fostering empathy for those who have fallen through society’s cracks—or into prisons of our own making.
Rooted in my experience as an immigrant, my process is grounded in observation, listening, and real-world stories. I focus on urgent social issues—poverty, racism, and consumerism—with a commitment to honesty and emotional truth.
Each piece develops organically over time, creating work that resonates deeply and invites audiences to become catalysts for change in their own lives and communities.

Grandma’s Million Dollar Scheme is based on a mostly true story, with a few fictional moments, and tells a story about race, class, greed, and our criminal justice system which has so many loopholes for white-collar criminals who actually never end up doing time. I draw on my interactions with my students at the local jail, and my experiences as a spiritual teacher there, and on my own journey as a get-rich-quick-scheme real estate agent in my late twenties in San Francisco who falls victim to a grandma who has a million-dollar get-rich-quick scheme of her own. My intention in this performance is to humanize and raise awareness around the challenges we all face (being rich, poor, black, white, etc.), around greed, marginalization, and class, as well as to create deeper empathy and understanding for the pain and suffering of many members of our society (which can also include ourselves) who have slipped and fallen through the cracks and often end up in jail, or various kinds of prisons of our own making.
Zombie Nation
This show is about a cross-section of Americans living and coping with life in a San Francisco apartment building, where their core values are challenged by Joe the Plumber, a hardworking, practical, blue-color guy who questions the choices the various tenants and their greedy landlords in San Francisco are making, and how people are literally turning into zombies, mindless consumers of tech and other products. But not all is lost, as most of the characters regain their conscience, moral compass, and sanity to become a healthy community.
