Theatre Production

My directing career began at age eleven when I gathered my neighbors to create a fan film of The Hunger Games. Since then, I have directed and assistant directed productions regionally in Atlanta, North Carolina and virtually with The Vagrancy, a company based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Los Angeles, California. My work spans from classical texts to new works, always with a commitment to fostering warm & positive rehearsal spaces & focused storytelling. As a music director, I bring my vocal pedagogy expertise into the rehearsal room, helping performers' technique shine while staying true to the narrative demands of a score. 

 

In spring 2026, I will be directing and music directing one of my favorite musicals, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Georgia Tech, as well as music directing West Side Story at Duluth High School.

My work as an intimacy coordinator is grounded in both creative vision and rigorous, ethical practice. I developed an Intimacy Language & Choreography Guide that establishes a culture of consent from the very first rehearsal (based on Chelsea Pace's book Staging Sex & Theatrical Intimacy Education's "Best Practices" workshop. See button below). I have intimacy coordinated for both theatre and film, most recently for Theatre Emory's production of Peerless, Open Seat Productions' sitcom pilot, Sexploration, and Dogfight at Little Blue Playhouse.
