How will I know I am shining? Because I will feel it.
Midwest born and bred, I transplanted myself to Seattle in 2009 and Scotland in 2025. Initially arriving in Seattle to practice theatre, I evolved my love for theatre directing, history, and dramaturgy into season planning, script development, and production management. From there, I pivoted into project and event management, web and graphic design, and editing and nonprofit administration. Now in Glasgow, I’m returning to my love of dramaturgy live theatre performance. Whether I’m a director, project manager, editor, or artist, I aid the expression of marginalized voices in live performance and digital media with a holistic approach.
I get inspiration and insight from:
adrienne maree brown, Anastacia-Reneé, Ann Friedman, Brittany Luse, Chani Nicholas, Derek Thompson, Harriet Richardson, Jamie Loftus, Jana Schmieding & Brian Bahe, Laci Mosley, Lindy West & Meagan Hatcher-Mays, Prometheus Brown, Saeed Jones & Zach Stafford, Sagid Carter, St. Vincent, Tom Fucoloro & the Business Boys of TBTL.
