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 assistant directing Every Brilliant Thing at Writers Theatre and directing in Theatre L’acadie + Pocket Theatre VR’s new play incubator.
Recently, I co-directed a sold-out, extended run of Eurydice on the Chicago River with site-specific collective Snails on a Bike. I was a member of Haven Chicago’s Directors Haven 7 Cohort, where I directed Krapp’s Last Tapeby Samuel Beckett. Recent assistant directing credits include ‘ART’ at the Guthrie Theater and The Band’s Visit at Writers Theatre. Upcoming assistant directing projects include Fool for Love at Steppenwolf and Pussy Sludge at Facility Theatre. 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 orMAINTENANCE .
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.
I’m so glad you made it here. I hope you’ll stay a while.
