I approach each work uniquely and based on the needs of the project at hand. Whether working as a dramaturg, director, or in other role, I generally take a curious and playful approach to the creative process. I thrive in grey areas, questions, and prompts more than in definite answers and specific direction.

As a director, I act as an administrative facilitator for the production team and as a first audience member for the play to help the cast understand what elements of the performance are working most effectively. In rehearsals, I take a devised approach, generally encouraging a process organized around the group as a whole, rather than individuals. My directing style is non-hierarchical, challenging patriarchal stereotypes and oppressive gender norms.

As an artist, I am inspired by the artists at Rash Dash Theatre Co and Frantic Assembly in London, as well as The Five Lesbian Brothers in NYC and decolonization movements from Land Back to Free Palestine.
