The Work

I’ve been in the industry since childhood, grew up under the stage lights and never found the exit. I started teaching and directing in college with Broadway Bound Players, and now I teach improv at LA Connection Comedy and coach privately. I thrive on collaboration in theater and film, always chasing the next story… or just writing my own when inspiration refuses to wait. Bringing out the best in actors is one of my favorite things to do,.

VARIETY SHOWS

Live & Filmed

I love creating shows that feel a little unpredictable, in the best way. From live cabarets and comedy events to filmed variety series, these projects bring together comedy, music, characters, pop culture, and a whole lot of personality. Whether I’m producing, directing, hosting, or creating from scratch, my goal is always the same: build something audiences want to be a part of, not just watch.

THEATER

Stories Made to Be Shared

Theater is where I learned to tell stories, and it’s still one of my favorite places to tell them. As a director, I’m drawn to work that is funny, honest, intimate, and deeply human. I love collaborating with actors to find what makes a character tick, reimagining familiar stories through a fresh lens, and creating productions where audiences feel close enough to the story that they are inside of it.

FILM

Stories Through a Different Lens

Film lets me take the same actor-first approach I love about theater and tell stories in an entirely different way. I’m especially drawn to character-driven work that finds something bigger in small, honest moments. Whether directing, producing, or developing my own projects, I love creating a strong visual world while giving actors the space to make it feel completely real.
