ABOUT ME

MY STORY

I have always been quite sensitive and empathetic . When I first got on stage, I intuitively realized the it was the perfect medium to understand and express those deep feelings. I’ve been hooked from the start.

Performing is my sanctuary. It’s such a gift to be able to intimately share with the audience the full spectrum of human emotions—joy, sorrow, anger, humor, and so much more. I feel that, in those moments, I get to harmonize their sentiments with my own heartfelt journey.

We love JAZZY!

Shawn Ryan, Actor, Director,, Producer, and co-founding director of Young Actor’s Theater Camp

“Jazzy is a remarkably dedicated and passionate actor. It is rare to find an actor of Jazzy’s age who had such commitment to their craft. They throw their entire being into every role, every audition and every rehearsal.

Watching them perform is a delight because their love for the stage is palpable in everything they do.

Jazzy is also naturally a very versatile performer, and I believe that versatility will expand greatly as they get older and train more. They are a very good dancer and singer, and an even better actor.

It’s exciting to see a young performer with such talent learning and growing so quickly, and as a director and a theater teacher I very much look forward to seeing Jazzy continue to deepen their skills and to watching their career, which I am sure will be formidable indeed. ”
