Hello! I’m a performer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and sound designer in New York City.  My classes on Outschool all revolve around theatre, theatre production, and music. You’ll find classes on creating virtual theatre, devising theatre, music, and monologue prep. I’m always so excited to work with the next generation of storytellers and makers. I can’t wait to meet you!

In 2002, I co-founded a theatre company in NYC, and we’ve created thirty-some pieces presented in theaters all over New York, the US, Australia, Europe, and the UK. I’ve been a guest lecturer and performer at NYU, Princeton, Duke, UNC, Wesleyan, Hellenic American University, UNC Chapel Hill, Muhlenberg, JMU, and SUNY Buffalo. Each engagement is slightly different, but ranges from teaching workshops to the students and staff, to spending months in residency with the students to create new works of theatre. 

I present workshops to the Educational Theatre Association’s programs, including Thespian Nation Live, where I am also a mentor to students preparing their monologues to be presented in the contest. Additionally, I sometimes adjudicate for the International Thespian Excellence Awards (Thespys), scoring their work and providing educational feedback. 

Most recently, I’ve been an audio consultant to online theatre; I’ve spent this pandemic teaching professional organizations, professional theaters,  middle schoolers, high schoolers, students in college, and professional artists all over the world to optimize their Zoom settings for the best virtual performance possible. I’ve tuned the sound of artists and casts to improve their microphone quality, and shown people how to use the lights they already have in their home to create optimal and theatrical looks.

I love collaboration and singing all together. I have a deep and profound love for the NYT crossword puzzle.
