I write plays & poetry and make weird internet experiments. (I also do editorial work & make websites!)

I’m interested in experiments of form, small art, & propagandizing for a world that could be, rather than the terrible world that is

My past work includes WORK HARD HAVE FUN MAKE HISTORY (Clubbed Thumb), FUTURE WIFE (Theatertreffen Stückemarkt) & Party in A Google Sheet (New Georges).

I’m under commission from NYTW, NAATCO + Long Wharf Theatre, Breaking the Binary Theatre & a past recipient of the Sundance Institute’s Interdisciplinary Program Grant.

Currently, I’m a member of Ars Nova’s Play Group and the New Georges Jam, and an alum of Clubbed Thumb’s Early Career Writers' Group & NYTW’s 2050 Fellowship.
