About Me

I AM A THEATRE ARTIST ​who believes theatre is at it best when it inherently holds meaning to the community it serves. I am passionate about creating equitable, inclusive, and progressive theatre spaces for all.  
I am a recent graduate of the Pennsylvania State University where I received my Bachelor of Arts degrees in Theatre and Comparative Literature. As a scholar-dramaturg, my research addresses the twentieth and twenty-first century American theatre. In any free time I can scrap together, I enjoy seeing live theatre, writing in coffee shops, and watching The View.

AS A TEACHER, I am interested in encouraging the next generation to be risk takers. I was blessed to be surrounded by incredible educators at crucial developmental stages in my life who encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone. I felt empowered to question the status quo and to voice my thoughts for possible solutions. As an educator myself, I strive to implement that same line of inquiry into my classroom.

AS A PLAYWRIGHT, I am interested in telling the stories I wish I had heard growing up. That includes the stories of the LGBTQ+ community, specifically gay men. I am interested in how sexual identity intersects with religion and how that conversation has shifted throughout history. My plays Headspace, Moving Day, and Weekend Visit address this intersection; all three received readings at the Pennsylvania State University during my undergraduate career.
Headspace received its world premiere in the fall of 2021 and later received a Special Commendation for Outstanding Playwriting from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.
