about me

hi! I am a writer & playwright from Cleveland, OH, currently based in New Haven, CT. I primarily like to write darkly humorous tales that blend elements of absurdism, Rust Belt gothic, pulp horror, mythology, and science fiction. I am especially passionate about crafting stories through which other LGBTQ and neurodivergent people can see themselves represented.

In 2020, I graduated from Oberlin College with a degree in Theater. I then spent the pandemic year working at a nursing home, where I led two semesters of playwriting workshops for residents in isolation. Both classes culminated in a streamed Zoom performance of each of the plays — all written and performed by residents! Since that rewarding experience, I’ve been living and working in New Haven, where I currently work at David Geffen School of Drama.

In my spare time, I love reading, making zines, crocheting, crafting niche Spotify playlists, and playing with my cat, Marge.
