About me

Hello! Im Jett, I am Trans femme nonbinary performer. A mouthful I know basically just means I lean towards presenting feminine but still like They & Them pronouns. I was raised in the Bay Area in California, more specifically Oakland. I went to Bishop O' Dowd Highschool which is where I got my love of acting! 

Some of my favorite highlights of ighschool include playing Woof in Hair, which is just an insane show for a highschool to do. But none the less it was one of my favorite memories. I think that and I did a music production class freshman year instead of drama which somehow led me to a Columbia College of Hollywood summer intensive program for screen acting! one of the best expeiences of my pre college life!

My college experience changed a lot for me! For one I figured out my identity as a transperson, went through a global pandemic and found my footing to stand up against people who aren't doing right by others. I learned so many valuable skills from not only my teachers but my peers throughout those years and it has taught me the true meaning of collaboration when it relates to theatre and an ensemble. 

I think the root of all acting is empathy. No matter the character actors must have the empathy to look at another persons situation in life and say "how can I connect" I think right now that what we all truly need. It is such a rare thing and its something I've carried into my adult life and it's something I hope I never lose. I work as a broadway bartender at the St.James and have had the pleasure of working on some amazing shows the highlight of which has been Sunset Boulevard.

I have also continued to pursue acting professionally which has been so far such a fulfilling experience. Ive worked pretty consistently since graduating and have achieved this without any sort of representation. Im proud of how far i've come and  for the next steps!

I just finished a run of a review of Sweet Charity with all trans women at AMT theatre for their Circle Theatre Festival! Upcoming I have a reading
