Rey got her start in making short films with her friends in high school. In her senior year, she won the National Medal from Scholastic Arts and Writing.
Graduating Northwestern with a degree in Radio/TV/Film, she pursued a concentration in Creative Writing for Media and Advanced Directing for the Screen. Her short films have screened in festivals such as NFMLA, Asian CineVision, CineYouth, Chicago OnScreen, and many more. Likewise, in 2022, she was selected as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery Early Career Bootcamp. Later that year, she also premiered LDR Season 1 Vol. 1, a web series about queer long distance relationships that Rey wrote, starred in, and produced. In 2023, her feature in development Back to Sixteen was selected as part of Femme Fatales fellowship Fatales Forward. Since then, she’s performed Stand Up Comedy all throughout the country, from showcases such as the 2024 SNL Showcase at the Annoyance Theater, through festivals such as New York City Asian Comedy Festival and Derby City Comedy Festival, or with the 2025 Here to Pee National Trans Protest Tour.
No stranger to the hustle, Rey’s dream is to continue to tell stories that honor the communities she’s a part of.
