Growing up splitting time between San Francisco and Wyoming, I am a modern play director currently working towards my BFA in Directing in the John Wells Directing Program at Carnegie Mellon University. Attending all girls schools (including a catholic one) up until college, my obsession with exploring the unhinged horrors of being a young girl blossomed, along with my love of queer stories that break preconceptions about gender and how it manifests . A cowboy to my core, I got into theater at a young age at the urging of my teachers when I was diagnosed with Dyslexia, as they thought it would be a good outlet. Little did they know I can do nothing half way and am now a dedicated theater maker.

​

I am deeply fascinated by modern plays that use the heightened reality available to the theatrical medium to explore emotions and inner thoughts that might feel too dirty, monstrous, or corrupt to talk about in our day to day lives. This has currently manifested in a fascination with exploring the inner emotional lives of young teenage women and what it means to be socialized as a girl. I love to explore how the expectations placed on females grow into internal turmoil and doing shows that express that horrifically beautiful inner life is what I am deeply passionate about. I am also a director who is an ardent believer in stories that explore and uplift experiences of people who fall anywhere on the gender spectrum and love working on shows that break gender expectations in exciting and hopeful ways. I love working on new works and with new playwrights, I believe that theater should always be speaking directly to current audiences and have found that young playwrights often are more connected to the people I want to see in the theater seats.

When I am not working in theater I love knitting.
