About MeI am a creative and expressive director and choreographer. I generate an artistic safe space where all members of the process feel acknowledged. I thrive on collaboration and specialize in developing and shaping new plays, but also have a soft spot in my heart for Musical Theatre.

playwright/ composer to help shape this new work. Cast of six. (Remounting 8/16 at Secret Theatre)
