I’ve always been a storyteller. Anyone who starts a conversation with me realizes too late they have given me an excuse to monologue. But I’m also a person with an outsized sense of self-awareness—and in the ever-changing landscape of social justice, I find myself thinking deeply about feminism, racial equity, institutional power structures, and the constant push and pull of the queer experience in modern society. What are the expectations of a politically fractured society? What do we sacrifice of ourselves to fit in? To survive? To find happiness?

These questions manifest in my work, driven by an absolute belief in the value of diverse experiences. I am attempting to ask—and sometimes answer—these questions with sensitivity and consideration, while at the same time leaning into the overtly theatrical—each play an attempt at marrying form and content—style and substance—in order to invent an audience experience that will be entertaining, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally fulfilling. I am attempting, as much as I can, to use my storytelling ability to tell stories of healing, redemption, and love.
