I have been performing onstage for over 14 years, and pride myself on an ability to take on any role that comes my way, whether that be a classical ingenue or a Shakespearean clown. My parents often say I was singing before I could talk, and since then, I have trained in many vocal styles including musical theatre, opera, pop/rock, and jazz. I majored in Musical Theatre at Long Island University, where I developed a passion for performing Shakespeare after studying it extensively with Dr. Valerie Clayman-Pye during my junior year. The tools I use to work on Shakespeare have become assets to all the I work I do as an actor, especially in musicals.

I am an analytical and detail-oriented artist, inspired by material rich with information, the kind you can revisit over and over and discover something new every time. As a writer, I strive to create theatre that captures audiences in this way, and as a director, I strive to find and use as much of this information as I can to tell the story. One of the things I love most about live theatre is the fact that it is live. I feel passionate about the power that acknowledging and including an audience, or making the choice not to, can have in a piece of theatre. Exploring the relationship between actors and audience is something that is integral to my creative work. As a director, I am especially excited by the idea of presenting classical works in new contexts that amplify themes already present in the text, and by the idea of handling work from the musical theatre canon in the same way. Queerness, womanhood, and gender are thematic cornerstones of my work and I look forward to exploring them and many other ideas across genres, styles, and mediums over the course of my career. I hope you’ll come along for the ride!
