I am a Chicago director, care worker, 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. Recent directing projects include Meet Me at Dawn and Eurydice with site-specific theatre collective Snails on a Bike at the Wild Mile on the Chicago River, an immersive production of Constellations at Clarendon Cottage in London, Krapp’s Last Tape (Director’s Haven 7), and MAINTENANCE (Pivot Arts). Assistant directing credits include Leopoldstadt, Every Brilliant Thing and The Band’s Visit at Writers Theatre, Veal at A Red Orchid Theatre, Fool For Love at Steppenwolf Theatre, ‘ART’ at the Guthrie Theater, and Pussy Sludge at Facility Theatre. Additionally, I produced The Model Play and Untitled (Blood, Marble) with Snails on a Bike.

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. Currently, I work as a Post-Show Discussion Facilitator at Steppenwolf Theatre and as a Memory Care Companion.

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.
