This is a picture of my cat, Sharlene <3

I am a queer, Brooklyn-based artist at the intersection of theatre and education. I develop and direct immersive, interactive, interdisciplinary works with emerging and established playwrights and multi-hyphenate artists. The projects I work on draw inspiration from personal narratives that explore identity, healing, and resilience. At the heart of my practice is an ensemble-based approach that prioritizes mutual facilitation, artist agency, and collective accountability. Aesthetics emerge from a mission to make theatre that rewards BIG CRAZY IDEAS and packs a meaningful, introspective punch.

​

I am a teaching artist for Queens Theatre, Waterwell Drama Program, Piper Theatre Productions, Artstream Inc, and Irondale Ensemble Project. I teach physical theatre, musical theatre, clown, puppetry, improv, devising, playwriting, and STEM to STEAM residencies to folks of all ages and abilities at public, private and D-75 schools in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

​

My work has been presented at the Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Art Haus, Theatre Row, Queens Theatre, Playwrights Horizon’s Downtown, The Kraine Theatre, The Deep End, Stonestreet Studios, The Upper Jay Arts Center, The Yard, and internationally at the Edinburgh Fringe. My work has been recognized by the Puffin Foundation and my 2016 production of Tubular at the SheNYC Festival received an award for Best Ensemble. My work has been in residency at Irondale Ensemble Project and CA+MP at UJAC. I am a co-founder and resident artist at SlugFest Theatre, a justice advocate at the Harriet Tubman Effect, and the 2024 CASA program manager at Queens Theatre. I have a BFA in Acting from NYU Tisch Experimental Theatre Wing and an MA in Educational Theatre in Colleges & Communities from NYU Steinhardt.
