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 primarily pursue this goal of connection as a theatrical Director, Producer, 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.

I love working in theatre as a forum for exploring intersectional identities and the unique values and experiences brought by each individual. I aim to lead in a way that permits vulnerability & invites artists to bring their entire selves (not “leaving your troubles at the door”). In pursuit of this goal, I consciously engage with diverse communities through accessibility-informed leadership with special regards to neurodivergence, physical accommodations, & non-traditional career paths. I also practice sustainability on all levels – financial, environmental, and emotional – to support long and vibrant careers for both myself and other artists . As someone who is particularly drawn to new & indie theatre, if I’m not going to be in it for the money then I will be in it for the joy, the connection, and the curiosity!

When I’m not involved in a theatrical endeavor, I’m either nose-deep in a fantasy book or crocheting while cuddled up with my orange cat “Soda”. I’m currently expanding my queer-focused personal library and always open to recommendations!
