For me, theatre and painting are world building and dream making — they are visceral, emotional, and cerebral. My own artistic vision transpires through the act of piecing together unlikely components, creating juxtapositions among the material, subject, and tone to create stories that live just on the tips of our tongues.
I am a theatre director, scenic and costume designer, scenic artist, and fine art painter constantly exploring new media and diversifying my skillset. My multi-faceted experiences serving in the Peace Corps in Madagascar, conducting academic research in west Africa, teaching at the university level, and working as a well-rounded theatre maker means I have accumulated daring, optimism, and vision and am always in search of the next project.
Having traveled the world, tackled masters and phd programs in theatre studies, and delving into my own creative practice, I continue to dedicate my artistic work to the worlds of imagination that can build communities by helping us understand and become more empathetic to the world around us.
I look forward to sharing my journey with you!

Art & Design
My directorial style is visceral and highly theatrical. I incorporate dance, music, and creative movement into most productions to maximize the physical aspects of theatrical storytelling. For me, the theatre is world-building and dream-making and should connect with audiences on physical, emotional, and intellectual planes. It should transport us to places where we land face-to-face with our deepest struggles and our greatest celebrations and create safe spaces for us to confront those aspects of our realities.

Mind Readers is a program that was developed to help bring theatre to life for non theatre majors taking theatre courses. Click on any image in the Mind Readers Gallery to learn more about the program.

I have also have the privilege to work on a number of new plays with emerging playwrights. Each of these opportunities was a unique experience. Click on any image in that gallery to learn more.
