Hi, I'm Noreen

Driven by a desire for a more just world, I LOVE telling stories that celebrate the diversity of the human experience and amplify underrepresented voices from a place of curiosity and joy!

As a SAG-AFTRA-eligible and AEA actor working in theatre, film, TV, commercials, print, voiceover, and audiobook narration, as well as a writer, I enjoy inspiring change, fostering a deeper understanding of the world, and providing much-needed levity.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

VIEW MY REELS

Stage & Screen

I bring a mix of intelligence, quirky playfulness, and quiet strength to my characters, who tend to be soft-spoken with a bubbly resilience and a spark of sass.

Working with award-winning directors and producers (who tell socially impactful stories), I’ve starred in several films that were featured in festivals such as the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, Asian American International Film Festival, Dances with Films, and Indie Short Fest.

I’ve also gotten to work in Off-Broadway and New York plays, including at The Duke on 42nd Street, Hudson Guild Theater, and the Players Theatre.

I hold a BA degree in Theatre from Southern Connecticut State University and studied acting at the Circle in the Square Theatre School. I also studied improv at the Magnet Theater and comedy with Scott Sedita. I’m trained in Stanislavski, Meisner, and Chekhov.

Voiceover & Audiobooks

In voiceover and audiobooks, I’ve had the opportunity to narrate YA novels and children’s books and lend my voice to podcasts and film projects. I studied voiceover with director and producer Jay Snyder (NYC) and ad agency producer Jennifer Sims (LA).

Writing

My writing work includes screenplays that share underrepresented identities and stories, explore characters who are figuring themselves out and discovering new situations that help them grow, and blend drama with light-heartedness and humor.

Activism

Harnessing my passion for social justice, I’ve collaborated with environmental and social impact nonprofits and founded an animal advocacy organization at my university. Organizations I've worked with include the SIRGE Coalition, Lead the Charge, the Sacred Land Film Project, Inside Broadway, The Workshop Theater, Prepare + Prosper, The Diversity Movement, and Waterfront Alliance.

Additionally, I’ve led workshops and presentations at high schools and universities on LGBTQIA+ visibility and inclusion, educating faculty on creating more inclusive environments. I was also a panelist at the NASTAD Gender and Race Alliance Summit in Washington, DC, discussing health equity for queer communities of color. Furthermore, I’ve conducted workshops on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Fun Facts

My favorite food is dark chocolate. I’m an animal lover and vegetarian. During my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing, traveling, singing karaoke, and volunteering.

I’m currently taking belly dance lessons. I also absolutely love to travel and have visited Toronto, London, Chicago, Orlando, Switzerland, and Sweden. So my passport is always ready to go wherever projects beckon!
