I work in theatre, opera, and musical theatre as a director, assistant director, and intimacy choreographer. My passion for the arts is rooted in the strong belief of the power of community. I'm originally from New Jersey and got my BA in Music from University of Miami. As an avid gardener and yogi, a fair weather runner, and a real opera nerd, I take great joy in facilitating and advocating for artists, consent, and boundaries.
