My Story

I’m a Brooklyn-based, Queer theatre creative who works in community spaces, regional theatres, new works/workshops, and off-Broadway. As an artist, I am driven by activism through accessibility to art and community connection. My favorite of rooms are ones filled with a variety of points of view and artistic expression. I come to this work as an activist; my tools are centered on community care, compassion, and clear communication. This supports an honest representation of how communities and creative collaborators can come together and, through theatre, tell stories that move mountains and minds alike.‬ Beyond directing and choreographing, I have worked as a Props Designer, Costume Designer, and Stage Manager, and have served as an Intimacy Director and Sensitivity Specialist in more recent years, all of which very much influence the way I move in the room as an artist.

Sexual Orientation
iSexual orientation describes a person's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to another person.

Queer, Lesbian

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

GenderQueer / Non- Binary

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
