Upcoming Projects:
Lately, I've been enjoying a few different exciting projects including: connecting with Flux Theatre Ensemble as the "Flux Squire"- with responsibilities similar to that of resident intern, associate producing the premiere of Dorothy Records: A Queer Cabaret at The Green Room 42, and working on my writing!

In addition to my experience in scripted performance, I have found a true love for devising. Several of my past credits were devised works with an ensemble and I am always looking for opportunities to collaborate on devising projects.
Director and Educator
As an experienced performer and deviser, I bring to the table the perspective of a director who values professionalism, collaboration, and specificity.
​
I treasure sharing my love for theatre with young actors.
Empowering students to embrace the vulnerable, unique, loud, and truthful parts of themselves.
Whether it's an iconic ensemble dance number, a building ballad, or an intimate duet, taking the time to work through a piece at an actor's level is integral to my directing process.
"I hope I’ve taught you that a woman or
genderqueer person does not need to be mild, meek, or quiet.
That you can use the power of your voice to sing, to influence
change,to joke late at night in your cabin, or to scream for your team.
You’ve taught me that I don’t need to be the loudest in the room to feel loved. That the people that admire you, trust you, support you, and care about you will listen no matter how quiet your voice may go.
And that the strongest voices are often hiding in those
who are just waiting for someone to listen."
