I was born and raised in North Carolina.

I'm a performer, director, and creator in theater and film. 

​

My passions lie in building stories across different seasons of process.

Dancing in spaces of discovery. Celebrating surprise and failure.

At my core, I love to play. Chase meaning. Search for what's underneath. See and be seen.

Take too much space, then disappear.

Live in that clumsy place between absurd and vulnerable. 

​

​

Most recently, I wrote and directed a short film called The Entire Lifespan Of A Mayfly, which screened at the RiverRun International Film Festival, Cucalorus Film Festival, Burbank International Film Festival (Nominee, Best Short Comedy), and the Atlanta Comedy Film Festival (Winner, Best Editor). 

​

My work as a director includes productions of Guards At The Taj by Rajiv Joseph (ArtsWest Playhouse), Dontrell, Who Kissed The Sea by Nathan Alan Davis (RhinoLeap), M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang, The Who And The What by Ayad Akhtar (ArtsWest Playhouse), the world premiere of Lindsay Joelle’s A Small History Of Amal, Age 7  (Forward Flux Productions/Pratidhwani). As an actor, I performed in the International China Tour of Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar, as well as with regional theaters such as Arena Stage, Playmakers Repertory Theater, Eugene O’Neill Playwrights Conference, and InterAct Theater Company.  

 

I have held workshops and residencies with the Kennedy Center under the William Kenan Fellowship, Lincoln Center Education, LaMama Theater Symposium (Italy), Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Cornish College of the Arts, and the Multi-Cultural Playwrights Conference at the University of Washington.

I am a member of the Actors Equity Association and hold a BFA from the

University of North Carolina School of the Arts, under Dean Gerald Freedman.
