Artistic Statement
I am a playwright and teaching artist who writes ensemble-driven full-length plays and shorts that explore relationships, grief, humor, memory, and community. My work lives at the intersection of heart and honesty, creating roles where actors feel truly seen and stories where audiences recognize themselves. Whether I am in a rehearsal room or a classroom, my goal is to help people use theatre to tell the truth, practice empathy, and leave just a little more hopeful than when they arrived.
