At 8 years old, I was introduced to the world of theatre.

In eighth grade, when I joined my school’s Drama Club, I knew I could not live without the treasured art form. 

The feeling I received from our Drama Club Director during our production of Alice in Wonderland showed me the magic of acceptance and belonging. I was fortunate enough to hold onto that feeling and have similar experiences throughout my high school and collegiate theatrical journey. Feeling seen, heard, supported, and loved is what I want to offer future generations. I truly believe in the power of theatre and youth; both have the ability to change the world. 

I am passionate about making Theatre with, for, and by Youth as well as Theatre for Social Change. I am drawn towards works that address real-life circumstances, create dialogue, and take risks. 

My methodology focuses on "process over product" techniques. Fostering a healthy process where artists feel free to explore, learn, and grow is crucial because it allows them to be open and fully equipped to take on the product they want to achieve.

I am proud to be in the business of helping younger generations forge their own path in the arts, and most importantly providing them with the tools and skills to be a good human.
