Hey!

I am an actor, writer, and theater maker based in Brooklyn, NY; and raised in Australia and the UK.

I am drawn to characters, both classical and contemporary, that ignite feelings, perspectives and desires usually suppressed by day to day life. I adore exploring new work and have been a part of many developmental processes - including my own plays. I believe innovative and daring new work is vital to keeping theatrical culture alive. I have performed in theatre spaces across NYC, and have completed theatrical apprenticeships with organizations such as The Public Theater and Circle in the Square.

I also write, creating stylistically diverse work which has a collective mission to resist bigotry, encourage empathy, and combat shame. It often dives into the nuances of queerness and religion. Outside of traditional playwrighting, I’m a passionate deviser who believes in the power of the human body - a love that started in high school after participating in the Dramatic Minds Festival which sought to raise awareness for teen mental health (thank you Australian public schools)!

When not working I nerd out over sports, sci-fi & fantasy stories, and geoguessr.
