Philosophy: In the realm of storytelling, intimacy is a powerful tool that demands respect, sensitivity, and expertise. I believe in fostering an environment where actors can explore and express themselves authentically, ensuring that the narrative unfolds with emotional depth and artistic integrity. My approach is rooted in collaboration, communication, and the well-being of all those involved.

Training: I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, and both a Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts in Theatre from Lindenwood University. I have successfully competed my Beginner Diploma with Theatrical Intimacy Education. (Intermediate and Advance Diplomas pending.) I've also completed my coursework and I'm in the final stages of my certification as a Sensitivity Specialist for Theatre.

I have 100+ hours training in Intimacy Direction and Coordination, continually updating my skills to align with industry best practices. Committed to the well-being of performers, I adhere to a comprehensive code of ethics that prioritizes consent, communication, and professionalism.

Collaborations: Having collaborated with a diverse range of productions, from stage to screen, I bring a wealth of experience in navigating the unique challenges of each project. Whether it's a theatrical performance, film, or television production, I am dedicated to elevating the storytelling experience through thoughtful and responsible handling of intimate content.

Join me on a journey where storytelling and intimacy intersect, creating narratives that resonate authentically with audiences. Together, let's bring your vision to life with the utmost professionalism, creativity, and respect for the craft.

Theatrical Intimacy Education: I'm an Assistant Faculty member of Theatrical Intimacy Education (TIE). My duties include supporting the Associate and Guiding Faculty teaching with TIE.
