Hi - so glad you’re here.  I am a writer, performer and educator and my creative power is collaboration.

As a teaching artist I create a working environment that honors our strengths, creates trust and allows for personal and group discovery. Students experience this by writing a song about gravitational pull for a play about The Solar System or with teenagers writing comedy skits. I collaborate with adults who are preparing their five minute stand up set, helping them embrace the energy of an audience and how to harness that power. 

I am a Company Artist at New Hampshire Theatre Project, where I work as a free-lance teaching artist at public and private schools in New Hampshire and Maine. I created the successful Couch to Mic program for adults and Teen Sketch Comedy as a part of the Comedy Test Kitchen Series.

I bring years of experience as a performer and writer to my residencies and always teach with a comedic spirit and collaborative nature.
