My poems have found homes in several print and online journals. Several plays have gotten up on their feet in readings and other development. And I’ve been honored to inhabit my own and other writers’ stories in theaters, bars, living rooms, libraries, and classrooms. (See more about this work here.)

I’ve also jumped at the chance to support fellow creators through dramaturgy, workshops, coaching and editing, arts administration, insights and strategy, and other creative collaboration.

In all of this, I strive to bring people’s stories to life. And to honor the life – the hidden, funny, complicated life – in their stories.
