I’m a writer and educator based in Mt. Airy Philadelphia.

My life condensed into bullet points:

I grew up on Cape Cod working at my family’s restaurant, doing lots and lots (and lots) of community theatre, and swimming in the ocean.

I studied acting and ensemble creation at the School of Theatre within the College of Fine Arts at Boston University. This is where I met my theatre family, we would move to NYC together and found CollaborationTown (CTown) an ensemble-based company.

I spent about 15 years in NYC — creating and producing ensemble devised work, writing plays, riding my bicycle, bartending, building a chosen family, and falling in love.

During this time I also was fortunate enought to spend a lot of time in the Hudson Valley; truly one of the most beautiful and magical places I’ve ever lived.

I moved to Philly with my husband in 2017. I teach theatre, puppetry, and queer culture , and serve as the director of January Term at Germantown Friends School. We built a family through adoption and have two amazing kiddos. We ripped out all the english ivy in our yard and have turned it into a wildlife habitat and small garden.

I continue to write plays and have also begun work on a novel and a picture book.

I am slowly building a community writing and arts organization called Make Space.

I’ve won some awards and received some residencies too: The Foundry Writer’s Group (Class of 2022); FringeNYC Excellence Award for Outstanding Playwriting (The Deepest Play Ever, 2006); FringeNYC Excellence Award for Outstanding Production (The Momentum, 2010) Otto Rene Castillo Political Theatre Award, 2014; multiple residencies at Robert Wilson's WaterMill Center and with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (Swing, Process and Work Space grants). They have developed work for LCT3 @ Lincoln Center, La MaMa, ETC, and The New Ohio Theatre.
