ADVENTURER. LEADER. STORYTELLER.
Theatre
As an artist, my aspiration is to "tell a beautiful story" using the arts as a way to foster cultural understanding, bring communities together, and to celebrate stories that art, music, and theatre allow us to share with people all over the world. I am an enthusiastic storyteller with a versatile set of skills allowing me to adapt to whatever project I am working on.
​
Whether I am working on-stage as a performer, backstage as a member of the crew, or behind the table as a director, I aspire to create a positive environment for my fellow artists. The theatre is an incredibly special space that allows for artists and audience members alike to travel to another world, another time, to get a glimpse at a life aside from our own, and being a part of that experience is special and unlike any other.
