As an artist, I am a multi-hyphenate. This word has been gaining traction recently, as we see more and more singer-songwriters and actor-producers. But I have a few more hyphens than that; I see myself as a director-choroegrapher-educator-leader-creator, with a focus in creating a theatrical atmosphere of consent and trauma-informed practices. While this title might seem a little ridiculous for a common slate or elevator pitch, these facets of myself are exactly what I bring to my art. 

​

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, performing and eventually teaching and directing at both I Can Do That! Performing Arts Center and The Athenian School. I received my B.A. from Pomona College, graduating as a Magna Cum Laude Phi Beta Kappa Scholar, with a double major in theatre and economics. In college I found my passion for directing, which I combined with my background in dance and choreography. 

Along the way, I picked up as many skills in the theatre as I could: lighting, sound, and costume design, set construction, producing, dramaturgy, stage management, and more. I equipped myself with everything I needed to be able to create a show all on my own if I needed to. 

Now, I am based in New York, working as a director-choreographer. I am a proud SDC associate member, and have had the honor to work on Broadway, off-Broadway, regionally, and in festivals and education spaces.
