ARTIST

As a director, producer, and writer, I’m excited by each stage of creating a piece—from revising to staging to bringing in an audience. In my work, I strive to capture the weird and whimsical, the humor and pathos in ordinary people’s lives. I love making shows about individuals from all corners of society—a dairy farmer turned pea milk entrepreneur being audited by the IRS, a female MLB mascot battling the patriarchy and her elaborate costume just to use the bathroom, a band of misfits congregating at the only laundromat in Cross Plains, Wisconsin… Deeply influenced by my working class immigrant roots, my work seeks to examine and interrogate the many embodiments and illusions of the American Dream. 

COLLABORATOR

I’ve worked with large theater institutions, smaller ensembles, and freelance artists, including 600 HIGHWAYMEN, Antigravity Performance Project, Atlantic Theater Company, Clubbed Thumb, Mercury Store, Moxie Arts, New Georges, Talking Band, The 24 Hour Plays, The Associates Theater Ensemble, The Hearth, and Williamstown Theatre Festival. Many thanks to my mentors Abigail Browde, Annie Kauffman, Michael Silverstone, Annie Tippe, and Sonya Sobieski.

ADVOCATE

A passionate advocate for equity and diversity within the industry, I’m committed to creating inclusive and community-building theater. I work with people of all different backgrounds and skill sets, and often first-time theater-makers, to bring new voices and little-heard perspectives to our art form. I’m very proud to have received a New York State Assembly Citation for my contributions to social justice activism in the arts.
