here is what i'm
about
Storytelling. Laughter. The multi-ethnic experience. Music. Connection. Resilience. History. Feminism. Language. Healing.

here is what i
write
History. Comedy. Restoration. I love to write about life at pivotal intersections. The anthropologist in me is drawn to exploring communication and the use of multiple languages in American theatre, including the application and/or omission of translation for American audiences. The survivor and activist in me is interested in the healthy excavation of trauma, healing, and restoration through storytelling.

here's how i like to
direct
My directing style can be described as a positive, unambiguous collective creation process. I don't believe that actors' desires and imagination should be ignored in the creative process, neither should they be without guidance; in the rehearsal room, we lay the groundwork first, establish character relationships second, and then create room for play and new discoveries within those establishments.


i get sh*t
done
Here's how.
I am a Lilly Award-winning theatre producer, paralegal,
and multi-hyphenate artist.
I am also a certified Green Dot Training Facilitator and a Volunteer Victim Advocate for survivors of sexual assault, as well as a trained TitleIX investigator.
I have been trained in de-escalation tactics for emergency planning and suicide prevention, and I have partnered with nonprofits globally and locally in my theatre career to bring awareness to the global refugee crisis, domestic violence prevention, women's rights, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I am passionate about empowering historically excluded artists in their journey of theatrical development. I coach managers and people leaders in communication, employee retention, process continuity, and talent strategy.
I have two international rescue cats and an adopted shelter dog, I love to cook, and I play the ukulele. Let's chat!
