who i am

I am a freelance writer based in Los Angeles. Cutting my teeth in the Chicago storefront theater scene, I've combined my immense love for the performing arts with my urgent desire to tell vital stories and empathetically communicate idealistic bandaids for our art-hungry souls.

when i'm around

Since returning home to Los Angeles in 2021, my work has been centered on championing and providing platforms for others’ arts. I’ve predominantly done so through my work as Marketing Manager at East West Players, one of the nation’s oldest theaters of color. I also organized and hosted a writers’ rooms for queer and trans playwrights of color that culminated in a play festival featuring seven fully casted new, in-development plays. 

In June of 2019, my first full length play prefer not to answer, or other completed a pair of staged readings. The first was hosted by The Syndicate's First Read 2019, a play reading series for trans and non-binary theater artists. The second was hosted by The New Colony, a Chicago theater company that focuses on fostering new works.
