I live and breathe stories.

I am an American playwright, filmmaker, producer, and teaching artist from Denver, Colorado. I am the Operations Manager at Telluride Theatre. I am the co-founder and executive director of Two Cent Lion, an LGBTQ+ theatre troupe based in Denver, Colorado. I recently lived in London, where I completed my Master’s in Screenwriting at Raindance Film School. My plays, films, and TV series aim to create positive queer representation by exploring the complexity (and the messiness) of human relationships.

I have written and co-authored plays that have received professional production in Denver, Phoenix, and London. Clink, Clink won 3rd Place at the Cinempress Stage Play Contest (2023), and was an official selection at the New Media Film Festival (2023 Script Competition). Yesterday/Today won the Just Write! International Playwriting Contest (2023) and was awarded "Best of Fringe" by Bucharest Inside the Beltway (2022).
