Here's a little bit about how I think about art:
As an artist, I aim to illuminate the realities of our lives through the exploration of the strange, the absurd, the magical, and the horrific. Using camp, spectacle, and impossibility, I create spaces where audiences can unpack the painful and frightening elements of our world through a circumstantial distance and investment in imagination. For me, theater has been proved to be uniquely suited to activating the unfamiliar and the wondrous to create experiences of self love, communal healing, and collective empathy. My artistry is oriented toward action – the idea that we have a responsibility to care for each other, and that our systems are a reflection of the world we are capable of imagining together, whether beautiful or destructive. These stories can be painful, but within the painful and the brutal, we get to witness the incredible resilience of humanity and our capacities for hope. My work has been described as magical, bold, political, and bizarre (in a good way).

Here's a little bit about what I've done:
I have spent the last decade building a career surrounding devised work and new plays, as well as urgent productions of classics. Recent work includes a workshop of BRKN by Abigail Onwunali at Ensemble Studio Theater and ENRON by Lucy Prebble at the Atlantic Acting School. Other productions include: Fucking A by Suzan-Lori Parks, Macbeth, and a workshop of Wake by Stefani Kuo, and the world premiere production of Cactus Queen by Doug Robinson (Yale School of Drama); Arlington by Enda Walsh, Udo by Abigail Onwunali and Nomé SiDone, a devised piece titled The Betrayal Project (Yale Cabaret); the world premiere of Susan Soon-He Stanton's The Things Are Against Us, Clare Barron’s Dance Nation; Jennifer Haley’s The Nether; Alice Birch’s Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. (Washington Ensemble Theater); Martin Crimp's Attempts on her Life and BrechtFest, an original mash-up of Brecht plays served over a 3-course brunch (The Horse in Motion); and a site-specific Waiting for Godot performed on a Seattle pier (Arts on the Waterfront).

As a teaching artist, I have taught and directed plays at the Atlantic Acting School, Yale College, Cornish College of the Arts, and the University of Washington. I was the Associate Artistic Director with the Washington Ensemble Theatre and a founding Artistic Director of a site-specific and experimental theatre company, The Horse in Motion. I am an alumna of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival FAIR Fellowship and the SDCF Observership Program, a winner of a Seattle Times Footlight Award, and the recipient of the Donal Harrington Memorial Award in Directing. I have been a finalist for the following: Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab, WP Theater Writer/Director Lab, New Georges Jam. MFA: David Geffen School of Drama at Yale. SDC Associate Member.
