Creative practice that helps people understand, connect, and engage.
I use documentary, performance, public programming, workshops, and other creative approaches to translate research and lived experience into work that invites reflection, conversation, and action. Whether working with a nonprofit, foundation, or community organization, my goal is to make complex ideas more accessible and meaningful for the people they affect.
Featured Projects

Selected Performances
My work as a solo performer explores female subjectivity. Often situated within elements of magical realism, my performances combine first-person narrative, character, humor, song, movement, and poetry to create new expressive pathways into questions of identity, embodiment, and belonging.
The Feminist Daughter Dementia Dilemma
What do you do when you finally figure out who you are — right as your Mom totally forgets who she is?
A solo performance combining comedy, storytelling, poetry, and personal narrative to examine dementia caregiving as both an intimate family experience and a broader social issue. Developed with Luna Stages, Lauren Weedman, and Santa Monica Rep's 4th Annual Playreading Festival.
If given the opportunity, what would you turn yourself into?
Eight female characters explore beauty, redemption, death, mental illness, and a new religion known as 'Star Magic'. Developed at The Writing Pad in LA and WildAcres in North Carolina. Listed on Creative Capital's 'On Our Radar' series.
I have had the wonderful opportunity to perform on story stages in New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and more. Below is a collection of recorded monologues, both first-person and more “performance-art” leaning.
