Multi-Passionate Theatrical Creative

Advocate for creative work inspiring more compassion and connection. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit while prioritizing mental health and supporting other theatrical artists.

About Alexa

I’m a proudly queer and feminist multi-hyphenate creative driven to create and uphold an accessible, inclusive, and  compassion-based approach to theatre. 

I aim to lead in a way that permits vulnerability in all forms with tools that protect the individual. I believe the arts are a valuable forum for exploring intersectional identities and the unique values brought by each individual. In a world with such heavy biases, how can we expect connection without the safe space to explore those differences?  

I primarily pursue this goal of connection as a theatrical Director and Accessibility Advocate. I also utilize my design skills to help elevate other theatrical artists and support their journey via branding & graphics plus administrative assistance.

When I’m not involved in a theatrical endeavor, I’m either nose-deep in a sci-fi/fantasy book or crocheting while cuddled up with my orange cat “Soda”. I’m currently expanding my queer-focused personal library and host a monthly queer book club as well!
