Biography

Therese is a comedian, actor, writer, singer, host and an ordained minister!

Hailing from San Francisco and raised by first generation Catholic Filipinos, Therese believed she would eventually become a nun. After wasting tuition at RISD, she got a taste of stage life as one half of the comedy duo, The Gay/Asian Straight/Causasian Alliance. She then continued to hone her performance chops by singing in the Oakland Family Fight Singers and acting on stage for the all-female sketch troop, Femikaze.

Since then, Therese has starred in the web series Sam & Billie Date (which she also co-wrote and co-directed), the short film The Fiction of the Fix, a trailer for Cemetery Highway, the pilot episode of web series Throw Like a Girl, and finagled a recurring role in the up-and-coming web series Dyke Central.

In addition to a series of stand-up comedy shows to be held in various living rooms around the Bay Area, 2015 will see Therese also starring in the comedy/sci-fi web series This Time Will Be Different.
