I am an animated bundle of unintentional humor and strange facts. Most of these quirks come from avid reading and horror movie watching (yes, that absolutely includes behind-the-scenes bonus features)! If you can believe it, this nerdiness helps in my work as an actor, educator, director, and activist.

 

I am drawn to stories featuring queer and trans narratives that center joy and community. My second, and main love, are stories for young audiences and all the ways theatre is brought to littles.  

 

“Always kind and collaborative” is a catchphrase that has followed me through grad school, and is a motto I continue to live by. Kindness and collaboration are the ways I move through my work, and the ways in which I choose to approach people. 

 

As an actor, I work well in roles involving eccentric eyebrow movement, flourishing hand motions, and any serious monologuing that would make Shakespeare jealous. 

 

My uncanny ability to take everything literally has lowered my capacity for reading sarcasm, but enhanced the quality of questions I ask for clarity. I learned such communication skills during my BA and MA in Theatre & Performance Studies (CU Boulder), and improved them during my MFA in Shakespeare & Performance (Mary Baldwin University).
