ABOUT
I am a playwright, producer, and performer living in New York-- on the cliffs of Manhattan.
I believe in silly-smart work. I champion character-driven pieces that give you something to debate on the way home. Theater is where we go to find solace from shame, but also where we go to get challenged — it is not an echo chamber for what we already know to be true (yawn.) Though... I suppose sometimes we do need reminding.
I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University with a degree in Film Studies and a concentration in Screenwriting through Columbia’s Film & Media Studies Program (and, spiritually, a minor in boxed wine). I spent a year abroad at the British American Drama Academy in London studying Shakespeare, clowning, and contemporary text.
I then went on to earn an MFA in Acting from the Actors Studio Drama School. In grad school, I tended to drift toward the playwrights unit and fell in love with plays — the internal psychology of character, and the way text both reveals and constructs behavior onstage.
I am the Co-Founder of Kind Strangers Collective, a woman-run theater company focused on programming that amplifies marginalized voices and partners with NYC nonprofits to extend the work beyond the stage into something more actionable in the real world. We love producing humorous, daring, bold work that doesn’t behave itself.
As a performer, I move between theater, screen, and the occasional Brooklyn basement improv scene.
I’m interested in making work that is funny, unruly, emotionally precise, and dangerous — and working with people who feel the same.
Let’s be friends. :)
