BIO

I’m a playwright, songwriter, dramaturg, and director born and raised in New York City.

My play Radically Single was part of The Tank LimeFest 2026, directed by Julia Kim Caldwell with Max Burkholder, Kay Benson, and Taylor Dunbar. I joined the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop in fall 2025. I’ve been a dramaturg on all-star readings for Center at West Park including All The President’s Men at Guild Hall in East Hampton, directed by John Benjamin Hickey with Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, and Robert Downey Jr., as well as Broadcast News, All About Eve, and The Big Chill. As a director I’ve worked at The Tank, The Producers Club, and Segal Center Theatre.

Since 2022 I’ve worked intensely with students living with war as a dramaturg for Young Playwrights Ukraine. Their plays have gone on to be performed in NYC, Minneapolis, London, Stockholm, Kyiv, and around the world from Dorset, Vermont to West Bengal, India.

I was a Spring 2025 intern for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. I have bylines in Cosmopolitan and Seventeen.

I graduated with a B.A. in English from Kenyon College in 2024. And I’m a proud graduate of Stuyvesant High School.
