About Me

As a Philadelphia-based artist, I am constantly inspired by the community around me. I recognize the value in the raw, honest lived experiences of others and the lessons we can all learn from them.

My goal as a performer and teaching artist is to make space for these stories to be heard and use that opportunity to influence my journey as an actor, but also as a member of our community. Our culture becomes richer when we embrace the differences in our experiences and utilize shared spaces to do just this.

I am a committed collaborator and teacher in pursuit of finding truth through expression, storytelling, and exploration. As an actor with experience in film, commercial theatre, devised theatre and new work, I am deeply excited by exploring new territories and would love to collaborate with you!

Keely and Du

A Production with Allens Lane Theater

Directed by Scott R. Grumling and T. Patrick Ryan

March 6 - 22 2020

Du, a right-to-life activist, and Keely, a pregnant rape victim, transcend their circumstances and the ideological issues that separate them. A Pulitzer Prize finalist for Drama, Keely and Du is a mind-probing issue play with a gripping human face. Who is accountable? What is the extent of individual freedom? What are a rape victim’s rights? What are a Christian’s realities of procreation? The passionate and gripping story of these two women exists on the extreme edge of everyday reality.
