Hi there!
My name is Tessa and I am an actor, writer, and producer. I took an actor branding class that gave me the tag-line — LA actor with NY realness — so we’ll go with that!
I love people, I love collaborating, I love stories, I love performing, I care about justice, and I just want to do it all!!!!
Most recently, I am in post production for our horror-comedy short film HOUSE RULES (where I co-wrote, executive produced, and starred.) It’s anti-capitalist and silly and I can’t wait for it to premiere.
I grew up in Los Angeles, have Trinidadian roots, and I have lived and worked in the UK, Argentina and NYC. I’ve performed on stages in LA, NYC, and Edinburgh, and have voiced over 50 projects for Netflix, Disney, Amazon and HBO.
My husband Marshall and I created tesmar productions, where we focus on stories with grit, humor, and activism.

I am based in Los Angeles and can be a local hire for NYC and London. Let’s play!
