I’m a passionate director, choreographer, and arts educator with an emphasis in artistry that centers empathy, agency, and humanity. I’ve worked professionally as an Assistant Director both in NYC and regionally: collaborating with Warren Carlyle on HARMONY on Broadway, and with Marcia Milgrom Dodge on ON YOUR FEET (Riverside Theatre) and WAITRESS (Olney Theatre). As a director myself, some of my recent work includes MERE WATERS (SheNYC, Winner of Best Script and Best Featured Actor, World Premiere), KITTENS (Hollywood Fringe, World Premiere), GODDESS OF THE HUNT (Fresh Fruit Festival), and ALL THE WORLD WONDERED (NYTF and STLFringe). I am a proud recipient of an SDCF Directing Fellowship and Associate Member of the SDC. 

I began as a kid who put on shows in the living room. Over time, my passion brought me into competitive dance, which then led to musical theatre, combined with a natural inclination towards leadership. Looking back, even in middle school, I was “directing” my peers. But it wasn’t until college that I fully fell in love with directing; I directed my first full production because of the mistreatment I saw at the hands of a professional director–I decided that I could treat people with kindness while creating good art, and that is what I have been doing ever since. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pomona College, with a double major in theatre and economics, having started my own theatre company there and directed numerous shows. Since it was a liberal arts program, I also walked away with experience in almost every element of theatre–performing, choreographing, lighting design, costume construction, set design, sound design, stage management, and more. Armed with these tools, I moved across the country to New York City, where I have been working professionally, honing my vision and technique as a professional director.
