Hello!

I am fortunate to be invited into rooms where I use my skills as a teacher, artist, yoga instructor, advocate and intimacy choreographer to foster growth, change, and shared experiences. I hold an MFA in Directing from The University of South Dakota and a BS in Theatre/ Dance Minor from South Dakota State University. I currently am part of the incredible teams of The Arkansas Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Blue Yoga Nyla in Little Rock, AR where we use movement, art, and theatricality to train advocates and others in sexual assault response.
From the small city of Russell, Kentucky I found my own voice to process my world through art. Sometimes I hid from life and sometimes I embraced it, but ultimately I found my voice in theatre. As my training expands from young artists entering the profession to those turning to movement and theatre to heal after trauma, I am constantly reminded of the power found in the arts. Continuing to help others find movement, voice, and space for their experiences and the stories we need to share is where I want to be.
Favorite shows directed include Actually, For Hurting Hands (Devised), Extremities, Shake My Tree (Devised), Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, The Comedy of Errors, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Venus in Fur, Sondheim's Into the Woods, Disney's The Little Mermaid, and The Diary of Anne Frank. In my free time I can be found in the kitchen, the yoga studio, or with a dog in my lap.
