ABOUT ME

I make theatre because I believe it has the power to inform, inspire, and change minds.  

I am a Teaching Artist, Actor, and Director, & Intimacy Director​ specializing in Ensemble-Devised creation, Vocal Expression, and Shakespeare.

I am also a mom, I love to sing, and play the piano and the ukulele.

​

I am an artist who seeks to to bring people together, build empathy and more understanding, and when appropriate to call to action. 

​

Within my role as an Intimacy Director, I aim to help facilitate conversations in a consent-forward manner, and to offer tools for artists to use to maintain a positive working environment as well as an abundantly creative working environment.

 

When teaching, I promote ensemble-building, foster creativity and guide creative thinking. I also want to help students to strengthen their awareness of their bodies and voices, and build self-confidence.

​

I received a Bachelor’s in Theatre Arts from the University of San Diego, in 2005. I then performed and taught in the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly a decade. While there, I was a member of the Ragged Wing Ensemble of Oakland, CA where I performed in and co-created over a dozen devised shows, and also taught with their High School Play Creation program. 

 

In 2016, I received a Master's in Theatre Education from Emerson College of Boston, focusing on Applied Theatre, Theatre for Young Audiences, Multicultural Education, and Voice Work. 

 

While in Boston, I Co-Directed and Devised an original production called "The Fear Project" with Open Theatre Project. This show was based on stories and interviews shared with our ensemble all centered around the question "What are you afraid of?"

 

I have trained extensively with Shakespeare and Company in Lenox, MA, and have trained in the Linklater Voice technique with Kristin Linklater as well as many of her Designated Teachers.

​

Since being back in great Northwest, I have had the opportunity to perform with Oregon Adventure Theatre as well as teach with Oregon Children's Theatre, New Moon Productions, and Northwest Children's Theatre and School.
