The characters I play, especially those with a social message, aren't limitations but paths to meaningful stories. Gratitude fuels my journey, and I embrace the diversity that unfolds with every role.”

For me, acting is not just a profession; it's a commitment to storytelling with purpose and making an impact beyond the screen. As I navigate this dynamic industry, I see each character as an opportunity to reflect the depth and sincerity that I believe defines my craft.”
