Welcome
I write because I can't not write. From stories about dogs when I was four years old, to a long, amusingly angsty fantasy novel in my teens, to the plays I write today, words have been my nourishment, my passion, and my life's work, and putting them on paper fulfills me like nothing else.
I have a special interest in writing plays that pose existential questions: How do people create meaning and purpose in life? Does free will exist? How do we deal with grief, loss, and the knowledge that one day we will die? These are issues I thought about a lot in my angsty teenage years; writing was therapeutic, a way of grappling with questions that defied easy answers, and they continue to inform my plays now. I love writing plays inspired by mythology and classical Greek drama, and have written several plays in verse. Coming from a political science background, I also want my plays to impact the world today: I hope that my words, while illuminating what connects us all as human beings, can also bring into focus and critically examine some of the social, economic and political inequalities entrenched in today’s society. While many of my plays are dramas, I have a humorous side, too, and enjoy writing silly, absurdist comedies. Uniting my plays are multifaceted characters struggling and ultimately connecting with what it means to be human.
Many of my plays are on the New Play Exchange.
I am available for freelance editing projects and script consultations. If you are interested in producing any of my scripts, or in inquiring about my editing services, please email me.
I currently teach playwriting and lead a virtual writing cafe through Dragon Theatre. I also teach a variety of online classes for children and teens on Outschool.
