I consider myself a writer, producer, and actor. The first play I ever wrote was performed by my third grade class. It was about a little girl who was the last in her class to believe in Santa Clause. At 17, one of my plays was chosen to be produced as part of my school's New Play Festival. That one was an empowering tale about a young girl choosing to accept sexuality instead of let other suppress her.
I grew up having to be creative, and I mean more than just writing. I attended a small arts high school in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania where we had to put on plays in an old mattress factory warehouse. If you couldn’t find a way to use your resources wisely, take advantage of every opportunity, and fight for what you needed to succeed you would have nothing. Problem solving and management are powerful expressions of creativity. This is where I learned, although I didn’t know it then, how to be a producer.
After my time in Pennsylvania I packed up and moved to New York City to attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. The Academy taught me about technique and show business. My education provided me with insights that would have taken me many years to learn on my own. I graduated with my Associates Degree and promptly left to travel the world. I continued to study and pursue my theatrical career along the way. Later, I took a break from acting and spent some time as an Au Pair in London, England. However, New York was calling me home and so I returned.
I started working as a freelance writer and social media coordinator. I joined forces with a great production company called Eye Of A Fly Productions and assisted in writing and producing their web series The Lovebirds Project. Moving into season 3, I became the head writer and producer of the series. Going freelance and joining Eye Of A Fly reignited the love I have for creating my own content. Now I'm reconnecting with that girl who had to build up nothing into something in that old mattress factory warehouse.
Now, I work as a freelance producer. In September 2018 I worked as Production Manager for Emmy Award Winner Dorothy Lyman's new play In The Bleak Midwinter directed by Katie McHugh. I then moved on to work as a Production Coordinator for Palmy Inn, a Brooklyn based production company. Out of my experience, I joined forces with Tristan J. Shuler to create A Night Of Play, an event featuring new short plays followed by board games. A Night Of Play is held monthly in Brooklyn. Click here for more info.
Currently, I work as the Assistant to the Artistic Director of Yonder Window Theatre Company. Yonder Window has an amazing year ahead and I'm so excited to be working with them.
