ACTOR | VOICEOVER TALENT | COACH | SAG-AFTRA, AEA
Born in the Philippines and raised in the Windy City, Tess studied acting at The Juilliard School. From NYC to LA, Tess now calls Southern California home.

Television credits include roles on For All Mankind, How to Get Away with Murder, S.W.A.T., Revenge, House, CSI, CSI:Miami, and NCIS.

When not on the stage, screen, or in the booth, Tess can be found baking, wrangling two rambunctious (and amazing) boys, and practicing her slow shred on the ski slopes.
