What I'm looking for

I’m looking to direct and write across theatre and screen—collaborating with bold teams that value strong storytelling, performance craft, and room to grow my voice as a creator.

I’m a SAG-eligible theatre and screen director/writer committed to telling character-driven stories with clarity, pace, and a strong creative point of view. I’ve worked across NYC theatre and LA/film & TV production roles, including director and director/writer credits.

My work includes directing productions such as Accidental Intimacies and The Algorithm, and writing/directing Rising Lesbian. I’ve been recognized with awards including “The Shortly Award for Rising Best Play for The Algorithm” and “Best Play for Accidental Intimacies,” and I earned a full ride to Brooklyn Comedy Collective (attended one semester).

I bring performance-ready training and versatile tools—from AMDA (Graduate) and dance/physical disciplines (jazz, tap, ballet, freestyle) to classical voice (mezzo/mix-belt) and multiple dialects (Queen’s English, American Standard, Pittsburghese, Boston, Russian, Southern, and BK). I also stay grounded through yoga and running, and I’m comfortable collaborating in fast-paced, creative production environments.
