UNDERSTUDYING OFF BROADWAY
Summer 2023
I am beyond excited to announce that I'll be part of the creative team of Toros at 2nd Stage. "Three international late-20-somethings (and one dying golden retriever) hang out in a garage in Madrid. They smoke pitis, get drunk, argue about the music, and figure out what version of reality to believe in."

recent Teaching Residencies
Spring 2023
I recently wrapped a residency at NS Cameron in Humbolt Park, Chicago in collaboration with Writers Theatre. I directed non-theatre students in a devised rendition of Andrea Beaty's Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters. With Dr. Myrna Garcia at Northwestern University and Mudlark Theatre, I also recently worked with undergraduates of the Cuarandera Hi/stories, Mo(ve)ments, & Knowledge Production Class to create School-age Latinx Theatre Curriculum. Finally, with Silk Road Rising, I've been hired as a teacher and actor; I had the pleasure of teaching a playwriting to Galileo Math and Science 7th grade students, and recently acted in staged readings of the works ELL student-playwrights at Heartland Alliance.
