About Me

I have always had a love for the Arts, and my passion lies in creating musical and theatrical experiences - some of which can be viewed in this portfolio. 
As a former elementary school teacher, I love to create songs for students and help them learn and express themselves through the Arts. Outside of the classroom, musical theatre is a constant staple. I love the way stories can be shared through intricate musical motifs and beautiful lyrics. I love the quiet excitement that ripples through the audience as the lights dim and the curtain rises. Most of all, I love the creativity behind the scenes. The work and collaborations that tumble and fall and grow and blossom into magic. 


I received an MFA in Musical Theatre Writing from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2024. I currently work as a freelance writer and director in New York City.
