About Me

I’m a Brooklyn-based theater maker and educator whose work explores the cracks between what’s “real” and what isn’t—by fusing the two, I try to locate my own existence within the realm of the fantastic. I’m a lyrical playwright who loves the campy, melodramatic, and surreal, and I’m drawn to making work that transcends traditional beliefs around gender identity, sexuality, and self-actualization. My plays often dramatize the shifting relationship between deviant culture and heteronormativity—I write to find myself, in my own life and in the lives of others, to subvert death with magic, and to embrace grief through imagination.

My recent work includes the Obie winning, “Brilliant/Highbrow” (NY Magazine) off-Broadway engagement of On Set with Theda Bara at The Brick theater starring David Greenspan (produced by Transport Group and The Lucille Lortel) and Midnight Coleslaw’s Tales from Beyond The Closet!!! (The Tank), described by The New York Times as “The year’s most twisted psychosexual melodrama—a bittersweet, yet biting, piece.”

I’m a two-time New York Foundation for the Arts Playwriting Fellow (2019, 2025), a recipient of a NYSCA grant (2024), and an NYU Film Lab Fellow in both screenwriting and TV writing (2019, 2021). I’ve been an artist-in-residence at Abingdon Theater Company (2019), The William Steeple Davis House (2024), and currently at Woodward Residency in Ridgewood, Queens. My work has also been supported by The Puffin Foundation, The Merchant Ivory Foundation, The Capote Foundation, and The Anna Sosenko Trust, among others.

My international teaching and artistic experiences in Greece, Peru, and Ghana have shaped my commitment to diverse storytelling and inclusive pedagogy. I currently teach at Hunter College, where I recently co-produced We The People: A Forum on Working Class Artists in America. I received my BFA from NYU Tisch’s Experimental Theater Wing and my MFA from Brooklyn College.
