About & Resume

Director and Writer

“I like how playwriting gives you access to a whole space where people will be a part of your work. It’s not just your writing that is the art, but the acting, direction, lighting, sound, scenery, and more. When you write a play, you are building a future community of artists to bring your words to life. Even more, you get to share it with new people night after night. Theatre gives you access to the human connection…”
