As a storyteller who acts, directs, and writes, I gravitate toward stories expressing dynamic and dysfunctional relationships that reflect our social and interpersonal climate. I aspire to make stories and storytelling more accessible to and representative of marginalized artists and patrons. I lean toward performing, directing, and/or writing stories that center disabled and/or queer stories.
I am a bi-coastal artist represented for commercial/film by Option in the Pacific Northwest and currently living on the East Coast (NYC, Boston). I have been performing in film since 2011, regional theatre (plays/musicals) since 2015, writing plays/novels and directing plays/musicals since 2018, providing audition support coaching since 2019, and in 2023 began working as an accessible theatre consultant. My educational experience includes a Theatre Arts BFA (Acting, Directing, Writing) with an emphasis in Social and Racial Justice from Boston University, Intimacy Direction and Coordination with Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC) Professionals in NYC, and an Associates Degree in General Studies (AGS) from Portland Community College with foci in writing, folklore, and philosophy.
Recent projects include: Director of Every Brilliant Thing, Ensemble in One Penny Down (a devised promenade style production) by Kirsten Greenidge, Asst Directed/Asst Movement Directed/Asst Intimacy Directed Orlando by Sarah Ruhl and directed by Vanessa Ogbuehi, The Mountains Are Calling… a play written by me and presented as a staged reading as part of the Boston University's School of Theatre Springboard Festival, Tom Ripley in Switzerland by Joanna Murray-Smith, and Assistant Directed/Music Directed The Moors by Jen Silverman and directed by Roz Beven.
As a storyteller, I have a passion for analyzing and discussing philosophy of art and beauty, books, film, music, theatre, and art/artists, finding joy in singing/playing music, and writing songs and poems, and taking in nature.
