about

I’m a process-centered collaborator. In classrooms and theaters, I facilitate environments where people can engage authentically and pursue understanding. I seek to contribute work that amplifies marginalized voices, inspiring courageous dialogue and connection.

BIO

With nearly two decades of professional experience, from NYC to an internally displaced persons camp in northern Uganda, I believe that how we make work reveals our priorities and the kind of world we want to bring into being.

I spent my 20s developing and implementing comprehensive performing arts programming for communities across Massachusetts because I believe all people should have access to arts education. During that time, I also helped raise more than $1 million to restore a historic theatre, now dedicated to community use.

Then, in the throes of early motherhood, I stepped back from the nights and weekends of our field and honed my fundraising experience. As the sole grant writer in a nonprofit development office, I increased grant revenue 29% within 12 months. I also taught college theatre courses and seminars about theatre history, public speaking, the business of theatre, and Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed.

And, babies don’t keep. Soon, I returned to the stage with renewed enthusiasm and perspective: continuing to teach at the college-level, devising new works, directing, even acting when a friend needs a favor. In 2025, I leveled up my MA in Theatre Education to an MFA in Applied Theatre.

I currently serve as Vice President of the Board for History Alive, Inc., am a proud inaugural board member of Whiffletree Works, Inc., and hold an affiliated faculty position in the Department of Performing Arts at Emerson College.
