I seek to create theatrical work at the intersection of care and art. I infuse care into the artistic process, making art that cares for the people who engage with it, and recognizing art as a form of care itself.
As a writer, I create stories that turn down the volume on what pop culture repeatedly shows us and allows us to listen to the parts and people it often ignores. I write to create a gentler, kinder theatrical experience infused with awe and wonder. I write women who care, cry, cuss, shit, laugh, scream, break, build, love, and fight both fiercely and gently.
I hold degrees in both English Literature and Ancient Greek and Roman Studies from the University of Delaware and I'm a member of Dramatists Guild.
