I am a professional actor and director based in Tucson, AZ after a 2022 move from the vibrant theatre community in Cincinnati, OH. I had the pleasure of working at the Cincinnati LORT houses and being an Equity Guest Artist for several of the smaller emerging theatres. I'm thrilled to have worked at Phoenix Theatre Company in THE BOOK OF WILL in 2022 and had the pleasure of understudying the challenging role of Amanda in THE GLASS MENAGERIE at Arizona Theatre Company in 2023. I hold an M.F.A in acting and enjoy continuing training through workshops with professionals and colleagues. A highlight was attending a week-long summer adult workshop with Pilobolus Dance Company. The majority of my work is theatre, but I have experience in film, industrial and print work and have directed in both professional and University Theatre. A particular love is creating devised theatre with Performance Gallery, a small vagabond theatrical collective I helped found in 2002.
A favorite project: Fringe Time!
I've enjoyed 21 years of participation in Fringe Festivals including Cincinnati, Atlanta, Indianapolis and Tucson. I love to devise new works and tackle risky subjects.
