About Me

I am an interdisciplinary artist, creating projects that honor multiple art forms coming together to create a more meaningful piece. I live and work in Northfield, Minnesota, where I collaborate with local talent. I am a trained musician, visual artist, actor, dancer and writer, which I bring to my work as a director and producer of independent film.

I have been honored to receive grants in 2017 and 2020 from SEMAC and most recently in 2021 from the Minnesota State Arts Board to support my work.

I make independent films.

My work is influenced
by performing arts.

Writing for Opportunities & Process

I write because I want to tell stories that I care about. In my creative work, this stemmed from personal frustrations about the lack of opportunity for talented actors who don’t fit within an archetype. Instead of waiting for someone else to write the roles I want to see, I created them myself. I also share about my process and arts exploration to offer a readers a glimpse of the conception, doubts and changes that occur to get to a finished work.

I write diverse roles I crave to see and play:

  • ensemble casts

  • central female

  • gender neutral

  • multicultural

 

I collaborate with local artists working in photography, dance, theatre, costuming, composition, music performance, and more.
