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

I graduated from The Theatre School at DePaul University with a BFA in Theatre Arts concentrated in Directing and a minor in Peace, Justice, and Conflict Studies. I work as a teaching artist for Idea Box Arts and an Education Apprentice at Northlight Theatre. I am currently serving as dramaturg for ‘ART’ at Remy Bumppo and co-producing Untitled (Blood, Marble) with Snails on a Bike. Recent projects include directing an immersive production of Constellations at Clarendon Cottage in London and assistant directing Fool For Love at Steppenwolf Theatre + Pussy Sludge at Facility Theatre.

Additional past projects include co-directing a sold-out run of Eurydice on the Chicago River with site-specific collective Snails on a Bike and directing Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett as part of Haven Chicago’s Directors Haven 7 Cohort. Other assistant directing credits include ART’ (Guthrie Theater) and Every Brilliant Thing and The Band’s Visit (Writers Theatre). I was a member of Theatre L’acadie + Pocket Theatre VR’s 2024-2025 new play incubator, where I directed a staged reading of Dread Merchants by Andrew Piechota. I am an alumna of the Kennedy Center Directing Intensive and training with the Neo-Futurists, Remy Bumppo, and Theatrical Intimacy Education.

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, like EURYDICE or MAINTENANCE .

beyond my craft, I’m an auntie of three and a student of their joy. I love 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.
