Currently based in NY State. Born and raised in suburban Ohio.
I earned my BFA in Theatre Arts from Boston University's School of Theatre and my MA in Applied Theatre from CUNY’s School of Professional Studies. I have studied with The Barrow Group, Double Edge Theatre Company, Cornerstone Theater Company, and Sojourn Theatre.
I have collaborated with NY based companies: Houses on the Moon, Superhero Clubhouse, The Bushwick Starr, Brave New World Repertory Theatre, Columbia Stages, River’s Edge Theatre Co, and Irvington Shakespeare Co. I have taught with Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, enACT, LeAp NYC, HOSH Kids, Manhattan Youth, and the Tarrytown Music Hall.
I shot a secret film on a cruise ship once.
I am a founder and core company member of The Neighborhood Theatre Project, a theatre company creating original, verbatim theatre through a process rooted in interviews and conversations. For more info, check us out:
In my ever-evolving artistic practice, I am driven toward storytelling experiences that create opportunities for community engagement, radical imagination, dialogue, and critical consciousness development.
I am committed to working in ways that are reflective, collaborative, deeply intentional, and emergent.
My work is rooted in an ongoing investigation of better practices for access and participation in the arts.
