At the heart of my work, I aim to explore the essence of what makes us human. I am most drawn to characters when they are up against tremendous odds, whether these obstacles are internal or external. I love to tell stories that center women and femme people as the protagonists, as they endure life’s challenges, defy gendered expectations, battle internal conflict, and experience moments of clarity. I am particularly interested in the way that mental health impacts characters. I want to examine moments in life that cannot be succinctly defined. I enjoy creating stories that pay respect to classic texts and theatrical forms while subverting expectations, and I aim to depict stories that provide an escape for audience members, while simultaneously inspiring persistence in their daily lives.

I am drawn to theatre, because I love to explore narratives in heightened landscapes in order to find intimate moments of authenticity. I enjoy working on projects that require complete immersion into a different world. I love the magic of finding a universal moment in a specific setting. The whole world falls away for a moment and the audience sees themselves in a world both completely foreign to them yet also familiar.

When I collaborate with other artists, I like to act as a sounding board to help people gauge whether specific moments in their work lands in the way that they intended. I am passionate about finding small adjustments that hold the largest impact. Throughout the process of development, I take care to alternate between examining specific moments in the text and scanning back to see the larger picture.
