Background

I graduated in 2018 from DePaul University with a double major in Theatre Arts, Directing concentration, and Community Psychology. My theatre background focused on social justice theatre, new plays, & devised and ensemble-created theatre. Straight out of college, I was hired as the Associate Producer at Collaboraction Theatre. I received additional training with The Neo-Futurists.

A 5th-generation Iowan on both sides; my family lives on the same block where my grandparents built their house. In my free time, I enjoy backpacking, brewing kombucha, being a cat mom, and eating my way through the Iowa State Fair.
