I am a New York based multidisciplinary theatre artist who was born and raised in Denver, CO. The majority of my work takes place at the intersection of acting and devising, but I also find great joy in being a writer, director, unofficial Cheez-Its ambassador, and observer of life.

I am in the business of making art that heals. Art has saved my life numerous times: in moments of immense loss and disorientation, art has held my questions without force feeding them answers. When the community from my high school’s fall musical brought me flowers and made space for my tears after hospital visits with my ill father: art saved me. When I discovered queer art in college and I saw how infinitely possible it is to be a queer person in this world: art saved me. When I saw that there were artists who didn’t wait around to be told their ideas are good enough and instead just produced their own work: art saved me. 

I have always been an actor who wants to create, a creator who wants to act. I used to think this impaired me, that I had to choose one or the other, but as I get deeper into my life as an artist, I now see this is the very thing that makes me “me.” I collaboratively make art that heals and inspires and tickles your imagination and makes you gasp in wonder because you’re seeing something that you never thought was possible to see on stage or on screen before. I also make art that is stupid and funny and exists to help build our collective stamina for joy. 

I want to cultivate an artistic community that shows up for each other again and again, championing each other’s work regardless of the size of the project or who is backing it. I want community that empowers each other to trust our artistic instincts and encourages faith that we are ENOUGH to take up space in this industry of creatives. Community is about no person being left behind in the pursuit of dream building. I want community that has a vision for the future of our industry and the capacity to start actualizing that vision right now. 

The future of theatre represents the global majority. The future of theatre is collaborative. The future of theatre is queer. The future of theatre divests from capitalism and invests in restoring communities. The future of theater has comedy that cracks your heart open. The future of theater makes all of us bitches feel less alone. The future of theatre holds healing powers if we let it. 

I want to spend the rest of my life learning how to let it.
