ABOUT
We are mosaics of different stories.
When I can get my own head above water - I've learned that it is possible to experience a profound interconnection with all the stories people are living around me.
​I spent over half of high school fighting cancer. I was grateful to have St. Jude Research Hospital in my corner. I graduated utterly bewildered but left home anyway. It made sense to me to spend my summer's during university working at Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp- a true haven for kids facing life threatening experiences. Camp is a magnet for gifted souls and artists of all kinds. It was there I told my first story and felt the wonder of a living moment get bigger than both the performer and audience.
Magic abounds.
I I needed to learn to be inside more stories. I auditioned and
I trained at the Dell Arte International School of Theatre.'s Professional Actor Training Program. I just got hungrier after that. I moved on to Actor’s Avenue Studio for Meisner. Then more, -Anne Bogart's Viewpoints- mask work, clown work etc.

Stories are nutritious.
They give validation. They give permission. They offer moments where we can experience our collective humanity. We laugh, shout for justice, weep for peace. We learn things and find strength to release burdens. Together. Stories remind us we are not alone.​
​​Humanity inspires me. In all of its chaotic and divine motion.
I am fortunate to work with many talented, diversely skilled artists. On stage, on camera, behind the microphone, or sharing our 1st drafts.
We dive in, we let go, and then we give it away in hopes to experience and offer even a taste of the truth. We are all in this together.
