ACTOR // PRODUCER // EDITOR
Kansas City, MO
UPCOMING PROJECTS
I'm playing the character "Dr. Learning" in a new play premiere with Hypothesis KC, "Public Access," opening this May! Click below for tickets!
I'm the Founding Artistic Director of Rising Tide Productions, and I produce an annual Halloween pop-up play at PH Coffee in North KC. See our website below for more info!
I'm currently on hiatus thru 2027 for double knee surgery. I'm available for voiceovers, but mostly I'm taking this time to rest, recover, and develop some new ideas.
In 2023 I released my comedy music video, "Simp for Billionaires," on YouTube! Give it a watch at the link below!
I just completed a run producing, marketing and playing "Anna" in GULAG GIRLS at the 2024 KC Fringe Festival with my company, Rising Tide Productions. We won Best of Venue at the Arts Asylum, and had an amazing run, selling out our opening and closing performances!
I played two dynamic and memorable roles at the 2023 Kansas City Fringe Festival, appearing in On the Veranda with Warehouse Ensemble and Crave with THUD Productions. I devise, direct, and feature as "Winnie" in a Hocus Pocus pop-up play at PH Coffee, three years running! I recently featured in three local films: "Behind the Scenes," written and directed by Nathaniel Paull, "Rennie" written and directed by Jessica Dressler & Jen Franke Klenke, and "Home Planet" written and directed by Andrew Pritzker.
I've been a commanding presence in various local theatrical productions for the past decade, including The Death of Cupid, Wicked Creatures, The Taming of the Shrew, Barbecue, The Holy Trinity, and Chaos Ensues, which won Best of Venue at Upside Bungee at the 2022 KC Fringe Festival. For the same festival, I also co-directed, marketed, and wore many other hats for Process Inevitable written by Ace Lovelace.
I was featured in two different film showcases in Spring 2022; appearing in Jean-Jacques Corbier's
Quick Looks which premiered at the Glenwood Arts Theatre; and in IX Film Productions' Almost Sorta Maybe, currently available to stream!
I began creating video parodies in 2020. In 2021 I created and produced a black and white satire of French existentialist art films with 5 fellow actor/writers, La Depression du Kansas City, available on YouTube. For the 2021 KC Fringe Festival, I directed, produced, filmed, and edited a play adapted to a movie, Faring Through the Ages written by Emmeline McCabe.
I'm currently developing a stage adaptation of a book on Kansas City's scandalous history, to be workshopped as part of KC Public Theatre's Playwright's Roundtable. I'm also directing a Rising Tide film in Winter 2024, and making plans for many future projects. So many exciting prospects on the horizon!

MY MISSION
My mission as an actor and creator is always evolving, and is often shaped by my experiences and colleagues. I act to serve as a vessel for transformative emotion. I hope to always create art I believe in with people who inspire me. I seek to empower mindfulness through my performances, be it comedically or dramatically; and to advocate for excellence, to uplift body positivity and diversity, and to enlist humor as a tool for social change.
