Hello friends!
I am an animated bundle of unintentional humor and strange facts. Most of these quirks only became applicable after I graduated with my first Master’s degree.
I am drawn to stories featuring queer and trans narratives that center joy and community. My second and main love are stories for young audiences, and all the ways theatre is brought to littles.
“Always kind and collaborative” is a catchphrase that has followed me through grad school, and is a motto I continue to live by. Kindness and collaboration are the ways I move through my work, and the ways in which I choose to approach people.
As an actor, I work well in roles involving eccentric eyebrow movement, flourishing hand motions, and any serious monologuing that would make Shakespeare jealous.
My uncanny ability to take everything literally has lowered my capacity for reading sarcasm, but enhanced the quality of questions I ask for clarity. I am a tea-drinking bookworm who prefers the indoors during the pattering of rain, while also having an insatiable desire to go out and see trees instead of reading from them.
