Hi! I'm a 1.5-generation Filipinx-American teaching artist currently working on being a better human and advocate for representation. She produces the podcast Intimacy Choreography In Conversation, hosted by Ann James and Carly D. Weckstein, and scrolls IG too often @atypicalhaze. Hazel has had the honor of playing on LA stages previously as Administrator in America Adjacent at the Skylight and Iago in Othello at Griot Theatre, among other fun roles.
A former scientist wannabe who trained in the University of Washington Professional Actor Training Program, Hazel integrates her personal and professional experience in the classroom to guide students in approaching acting with their truest selves: what you have and where you are in the present moment, under imaginary circumstances.
