Thank you for visiting my website! I am a director, producer, actor, and teaching artist. I am currently based in Iowa City, working towards an MFA in Theatre Direction at The University of Iowa. I called Chicago home before beginning graduate study. As a director and actor, I have a joyfully twisted sensibility; I love dark plays and light rehearsal rooms. As a producer and teacher, I aim to help other theatre artists tell the truth, and nothing but the truth.

My collaborations in new play development thrive on creative and intellectual rigor and I love spearheading theatre that is alive, surprising, and transformative. As a director, I’m guided by a precise eye for time and space and a strong personal point of view in conversation with the playwright’s world. I’m drawn to contemporary plays that confront dark and complex ideas and allow subversive and challenging impulses to surface. I approach all my work with an unstoppable sense of humor and irony. My rehearsal rooms are playful, intuitive, and generous, and I lead productions that are visually imaginative, surreal, and kinetically charged.

I’m currently an ensemble member and teach in The Meisner Studio The Artistic Home Ensemble located in the Avondale neighborhood of Chicago, IL where I also served as Associate Artistic Director from 2017 - 2021. I hold a B.A. in Theatre with concentrations in Acting and Education from Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington and I have trained extensively in Meisner, Grotowski, Suzuki, and the Viewpoints.
