"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." -Annie Dillard, The Writing Life
I'm lucky to spend my days pursuing projects that cover a wide range of artistic expression.
(And I wouldn't have it any other way.)
NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT
Through several years spent workshopping and originating roles in premiere productions- as well as seeing my own original work produced- I've honed my skills in idea generation, structural editing, and constructive feedback. I love collaborating with writers who want an actor's input on their script, fresh perspective on a story's big picture, or simply a boost of creative energy to get their new play off and running!
​
Whether you're seeking a collaborator to join your project for the long haul, or you simply need to hit the "refresh" button on a project with a day or week-long session of creative input and brainstorming, I'm here to help! Please get in touch for more info.

MUSIC
My parents raised me on Carole King, The Beatles, and Mozart. They put me in piano lessons at an early age, and I've since branched out to teach myself several other instruments. I've accompanied myself onstage in musicals, sung at birthday parties and cabarets, and once, I even won a nation-wide jingle contest. Simply put, I love expanding my musical pursuits.
Since 2018, I've collaborated with the Milwaukee-based band Long Mama, providing harmonies which are now featured on their debut album.
​
Live cast recordings of original musicals featuring my voice include Dairy Heirs, The Fisherman's Daughters, and Doctor! Doctor!

WRITING
My original monologue, To the Young in Heart, was featured in Forward Theater Company's 2021 monologue festival, and I am co-author of the musical Dairy Heirs, along with Joel Kopischke and Alissa Rhode, which was produced by Northern Sky Theater in 2018 and 2019. There are more irons in the fire at the moment, so stay tuned!
