exploring the complexities of human behavior…

I was born and raised in Midtown Manhattan, so I had the fortune of easy access to high caliber theater for as long as I can remember. This early exposure made it so that stories were a fundamental tool for my emotional development. Stories offer the multitude of ways people behave in their most important moments, and I am drawn to those stories that activate personal development and empathy—for myself, my collaborators, and my audiences. I carry my city’s hustle into my creative practice, and I look forward to living a nomadic life in the pursuit of storytelling..

Connection is the lifeblood of my creative pursuit—you’re here and reading this, so thank you, that’s the first step!

I have opted out of using social media (with the exception of my YouTube ) in the pursuit of leading a happier life. Though I hope this doesn’t deter you from being social! Call me old fashioned, but I just prefer email, or calls!
