Hello
I am a person who believes that at our core, we all crave the same things: Connection. To be seen and understood. To feel important. My empathy and sensitivity have pulled me toward the arts for as long as I can remember. I spent most of my childhood living in daydreams. I created worlds in my head of magic and possibility, where everyone was loved and accepted for who they were. Within the theatre, I discovered a way to express myself and be understood. As an adult, I combine my love of activism and theatre to encourage connection and understanding. I aim to prompt conversation and emotion within the audience. I strive to tell diverse and inclusive stories with authentic representation. We all deserve to have our stories told and see others like us in the spotlight. If we can connect with and understand each other, we can begin to heal and reject the ever-present prejudice that permeates our lives.
