The driving themes of my writing are “universality” and “optimistic resilience.” These phrases permeate many layers of my life; I know them well, and so they inform my work. Being autistic is a double-edged sword, and it’s been a long journey of discovery...but I’m grateful for the opportunity it has given me to develop a distinctive voice. I’m determined to inspire others to also remain optimistic and keep their spirits strong in the face of difficulty. Deep down, we're all looking for the same things. So much of today's scripts are dark or even bleak in nature, but that isn't what I am called to do. I am here to showcase the wonderful sides of life and the best of us. Theatre is my biggest passion in life, and I believe that meaningful change in the world is the result of hope + idea + action!

Selfishly, I have used playwriting as a way of better understanding the world. My interest is in human connection- the love, the hopes, the best of us- that has always proved so tantalizing and elusive for me. I want to explore all the nooks and crannies of how we affect one another. So, every full-length play that I’ve written centers on such ordinary people who make extraordinary connections…which change the trajectory of their lives.

(My personal "self-actualization?" To be like Lin-Manuel Miranda and give a great performance in a fantastic play that I've written.)
