Hi! Nice to have you here. You look good today.
Here, have my headshot and resume!
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I’m a little too proud about that. In 2011, I moved to Portland, Oregon to attend Reed College. I thought I would be a math major, but I quickly realized I needed to study Theatre. I wrote a thesis exploring the role of physical theatre in absurdist plays, and directed a production of The Lesson by Eugène Ionesco. I spent a couple of years in Portland training with the PETE, working on shows, and honing my craft. I felt the siren call back to the east coast, and started the Full Time Conservatory at the Atlantic Acting School in 2017. During my time there, I honed my skills as an actor and helped found Bluebird Theatre Company, where I currently serve as Artistic Director. I continue to write plays, short films, and direct my own work. I can be found wandering around the park listening to various albums from the 1960s, or eating as much french food as I can find.
My Day Job
I am also a Junior Literary Agent at the Ann Rittenberg Literary Agency. Head to our website for information about that!
Playing Silvius in As You Like It at Atlantic Acting School
Playing Peasblossom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Salt and Sage Productions in Portland

Here’s what I’m working on right now!
I am the Artistic Director of the Bluebird Theatre Company. We produce new work, and host regular readings of new plays at Young Ethel’s bar in Park Slope. Come see us sometime!
In 2024, I premiered my original full-length play, A LITTLE LESS THAN KIND: A GENDERBENT HAMLET ADAPTATION at the NYC Frigid Fringe Festival. Thinking Theater said I was “engagingly ranging from spiky to vulnerable to subtly epiphanic.”
My first short film, ALIEN INVASION, did a run at two festivals. We won the Audience Choice award at Emerging: A Virtual Film Festival in 2021!
How about some videos?
