Recent plays include The Hub (Semi-Finalist, Princess Grace), Nothing Remained But Voice And Bones (Clubbed Thumb Reading Series, Semi-Finalist New American Voices and NAP at Normal Ave), Arrow...
I'm an NJ/NYC playwright who is interested in cycles, technology, navigating the world as a woman, and how being a woman and technology intersect. Sometimes I write about these things together, sometimes separate. Recent plays include The Hub (Semi-Finalist, Princess Grace), Nothing Remained But Voice And Bones (Clubbed Thumb Reading Series, Semi-Finalist New American Voices and NAP at Normal Ave), Arrow of Time (The Brick 2022). My short play, An Instant Message, was a top twelve Samuel French Off-Off-Broadway Festival finalist. Most recently I was in the Final Shortlist for the Alpine Fellowship Theatre Prize, a semi-finalist for Pipeline Theatre's PlayLab and had a monologue published in a book by Theatre Unbound. I'm currently working on an audio play as part of the inaugural SoundLab at The Brick, and was a 2020-2021 member of Clubbed Thumb's Early Career Writer's Group where I received the Constitution Commission.
I received my BFA from Eugene Lang, The New School for Liberal Arts, in 2012, with a concentration in Writing, and my Playwriting MFA at Augsburg University in Minneapolis, MN, in 2018.
