I am a Chicago director, arts administrator, writer, and world builder.

I graduated from The Theatre School at DePaul University with a BFA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Directing and a minor in Peace, Justice, and Conflict Studies. I work in Company Management at the historic Lyric Opera of Chicago and regularly self-produce theatre in the city. Recent assistant directing credits include ‘ART’ at the Guthrie Theater (dir. Kimberly Senior) and The Band’s Visit at Writers Theatre (dir. Zi Alikhan). I am a member of Haven Theatre’s Directors Haven 7 Cohort, where I am directing Krapp’s Last Tape, running March 27-April 10. Tickets on sale here! I am an alumna of the 2023 Kennedy Center Directing Intensive and am in intimacy training with T.I.E, thanks to grants provided by the Illinois Arts Council and the Sarah Siddons Society.

thank you for visiting my website! I invite you to read my artist statement [what I do] and vision manifesto to learn more about my work. learn more about specific productions + view production images by visiting their individual pages, such as MAINTENANCE or Elektra, at solstice.

beyond my craft, I’m an auntie of three and a student of their joy. I love cooking and eating at long tables. big fan of staring out the window, hiking, Gaga dance, reading, biking, Lake Michigan, camping, and writing poems. I am a passionate advocate of the home death movement and hope to obtain certification as a death and grief doula.
