As a dramaturg, I am led by curiosity and compassion. I am known for being an attentive, insightful collaborator with a keen eye for detail and analysis. With plays in development, I see myself as a creative pillar; I am there to support the playwright and their vision for the piece. As a production dramaturg, my goal is to help ensure that the story being told is cohesive, accessible, and engaging.
I am drawn to bold feminist stories that challenge our perspectives and encourage conversation. I am particularly interested in working on plays that center and uplift the LGBTQIA2+ community.

Into the Breeches
By George Brant
Directed by Bryn Boyce
HUB Theatre of Boston (2022)
It’s 1942 and most of the men are away fighting in the war. With no one to direct the plays, a beloved local theater has remained closed. Dismissing the popular opinion that women can’t direct, design, or act without men, Maggie decides to ignore the opinion of the Board President and stage Shakespeare’s Henriad with an all-female cast.
The Half-Life of Marie Curie
By Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Bryn Boyce
The Nora / Central Square Theater (2021)
In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium. By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair with a married Frenchman, all but erasing her achievements from public memory. Weakened and demoralized by an unrelenting and unforgiving press, Marie joins her friend and colleague Hertha Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, to recover from the scandal at Hertha's seaside retreat on the British coast.
