Hey there!
I am a versatile storyteller and writer who builds community with people-first, big ideas. I’ve worked across many mediums with some of the biggest names in culture to make people laugh, cry and commit. I’ve caused an uproar on one of the biggest stages in the world, the Super Bowl, and can be found making a fool of myself with sketch comedy on some of the smallest stages in NYC.
Learning new skills, innovating and finding never-been-done-before ways to tell a story are what excite me these days- and my work shows that.
I grew up in Sacramento, studied in Utah, lived abroad in England, started my career in Chicago and am currently living in NYC.
