Artistic Statement
I write plays that interrogate how we perform identity, power, and survival—especially when no one's watching, or when everyone is. My work lives in the space where humor and danger intersect, often blending heightened language, deep emotional inquiry, and moments of theatrical disruption. I'm interested in how trauma lives in the body, how we construct our digital and emotional selves, and what stories we tell to feel real again.
Many of my plays center outsiders—women, queer characters, neurodivergent voices—caught between who they are and who the world expects them to be. I’ve written about grief and celebrity, fairytales and feminism, influencers and intimacy. Sometimes the world of a play is grounded and raw; other times, it’s surreal, mythic, or glitched. But at the heart of all my work is a desire to connect—to make something unflinchingly honest, darkly funny, and (hopefully) unforgettable.
I believe in writing that risks something.
