Welcome, friends and colleagues!
I am a dramaturg currently working as an agent’s assistant and freelancing around NYC. I am also a proud member of the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA), and the Regional VP for LMDA’s Metro-NYC Region.
I have been fortunate to work on a wide variety of creative endeavors thus far, in nonprofit literary offices, in the agenting world, and in my freelance life. Of all the work that I do, I am especially excited to collaborate with playwrights and foster the development of their new works.
I also have a passion for bringing communities together through the arts.
I am most excited about theater that addresses socially pertinent issues, both through the art itself and through the communal experience theater facilitates beyond the stage.
I am a fierce advocate for putting more diversity–in every facet–on our American stages, backstage, and in the audience.
Additionally, I have a background in music–specifically voice, harp, and musical theater–and I have enjoyed opportunities to apply that set of skills to my theatrical work.
If you have a theatrical vision you’ve always dreamed of creating, if you want a soundboard for your ideas, if you’re looking for pertinent research to enhance your main themes, if you want someone to listen objectively and help you take your work to the next level…get in touch with me. Let’s tell your story together.
I can’t wait to work with you!
