My Approach
My approach to stage work reflects a passionate dedication to collaboration, inclusivity, and the transformative power of storytelling. My directing journey began as a student, where I directed and assisted on a variety of productions and discovered how much I love guiding a story from page to stage. I’ve also gained valuable experience in stage management, working as both a stage manager and an assistant. These roles deepened my understanding of the intricacies of theatrical production, refined my craft, and allowed me to learn from the diverse perspectives of other directors.
My directing philosophy is rooted in creating spaces where all voices feel valued and collaboration drives the work forward. I believe theatre has the power to challenge, inspire, and spark introspection, and I’m often drawn to stories that explore themes of isolation and human connection. My goal is to create work that resonates deeply with audiences, fostering meaningful conversations long after the performance ends.
Education
I blend artistic creativity with practical expertise, bringing a unique perspective to theatre-making. With a BS in Management and a BFA in Theatre Directing from Belmont University, I have developed both the artistic vision and logistical skills necessary to bring productions to life. My education has equipped me not only to craft engaging and inclusive work but also to navigate the financial and organizational challenges of theatre. I believe compelling storytelling and effective leadership go hand in hand, and I strive to harness both as strengths to create meaningful art.
