Bringing years of Stand-up comedy experience coupled with many SAE skills, I can offer a wide range of options and layers of emotions to all characters. As a photo/video journalist and talk show host for Satluj TV, I can appreciate the depth of emotionally dramatic scenes from a real-life perspective. Being trained and experienced in Los Angeles as an EMT specializing in Respiratory Care and Trauma, I can bring realism to related themes. Adding experience over the years as a class 2 bus driver and safety manager for companies including Premier Pacific and Greyhound, I have a very broad range of skills and experience to bring along to productions.

With my experience as a business owner in technology, media, passenger and freight transportation, I bring many skills and wardrobe options. Having experience in photo and video journalism I have international credentials accompanied by experience in covering natural disasters, front lines in war zones (most recently in Ukraine), Refugee camps, police officer deaths on duty and other news and media-related coverage on an international scale. This also brings experience in still and ENG video camera operations. It also adds to the authentic perspective I bring to set. Add to the training and experience I can bring, I also have a social media and streaming presence with combines followers / subcribers of over 35,000 and growing.
