Central Coast BroadwayWorld.com’s 2016 Person to Watch + 2017 Best Director. Founding Artistic Director of On The Verge Summer Repertory Company in Santa Barbara & Explosions From the Other Canon @ Brown.MFA, Brown/Trinity.
She is also critic at Rhode Island School of Design and co-teaches "Performing the Internet" at NYU + The New School. She also holds a guest lectureship appointment at UC Santa Barbara and is helping develop their anti-racist action plans in fall 2020.
Her directorial work, described as "haunting, intimate and provocative" by Brian Mertes, focuses on queering brittle gaze, making the impossible possible and supporting visionary playwrights and actors. Women in crisis, dark humor, audio terror, radical joy + rupturing the status quo are a few of the ingredients you may find in her concoctions. She is on the hunt to be together better.
