About Me
I am an international teaching artist, actor, and director, and currently serve as Assistant Professor of Theatre at Northern Michigan University. My work spans performance, directing, and actor training across the United States and internationally, with credits in New York City, London, Las Vegas, the Philippines, Edinburgh, and the Seychelles.
​
I hold a Master’s in Classical Acting from London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre from Rider University, where I received the Mark Twain Comedy Award and advanced to the nationals of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. In recognition of my international work as an actor and director, I was awarded a UK Global Talent Visa.
​
My directing and teaching career spans a wide range of institutions and productions. I am the co-founder of Tunnel Theatre Co. in New York City, where I collaborated with Tony Award winner Alice Ripley and Hamilton’s Michael Luwoye. I have taught classical acting at Bodens Performing Arts College in London, directed and choreographed at the William T. Sherman School in New York City, and led workshops in Shakespeare and devising at McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, NJ. I also served as Resident Theatre Teacher and curriculum designer at KIPP Lab High School in Newark, NJ.
​
At Northern Michigan University, I have directed productions including Footloose, Frankenstein, Six Men Dressed Like Joseph Stalin, Wildcat Theatre Follies, and A Streetcar Named Desire. I am passionate about training actor-artists who combine rigorous classical technique with bold contemporary storytelling.
