I'm an actor/playwright currently living on Long Island.
I've been writing since high school, but it wasn't until my final year of college that I truly began to embrace the playwright in me. I write both full-length plays and one-acts, and have a hope to take a crack at writing musicals. I'm inspired by writers such as Lynn Nottage, Tracy Letts, Martin McDonagh, Jackie Sibblies Drury, and Adam Rapp. My stories are about the outsiders in the world, whether it be in the family, at work, or simply among the millions of people inhabiting the planet, and, most importantly to me, those who struggle and cope with mental health.

As a playwright, and also as an actor, my overall goal is to create and perform in works, new and existing, that both ignite and sustain the conversation in mental health, hoping to play a small part in fully breaking the stigma surrounding the topic. It certainly won't be an easy task to achieve, and it may take longer than expected, but as it is sung at the end of "Next To Normal," "When our long night is done, there will be light." It truly is a task I'm willing to take on; through my writing I hope to play a part in spreading the word of mental health awareness and lifting those up who feel there is no end in sight to internal suffering.
