about

i am obsessed with art in all its forms but i am particularly fond of performing as an actor in plays. i am drawn to Shakespeare, surrealism, tragedy, developing new works, family dramas, heightened language, and metafiction. i am always chasing the next time i have the privilege to collaborate with other theatre artists. i am particularly passionate about performing and adapting classical texts in a way that is accessible and striking no matter how familiar an audience may be with theatre, classical or otherwise.

as a teaching artist, am well versed in adapting and teaching classical texts to children, designing interactive workshops, and fostering inclusive learning environments. i have experience using theatre to help students build up their confidence, analytical skills, and ability to express themselves through art. my teaching process is very silly, game-based, and low pressure which creates a theatrical learning environment where not only the most extroverted or naturally dramatically talented children are given positive attention for their unique contributions to the rehearsal room.

as a multimedia artist, i work mostly with found object sculptures, datamoshed video art, and digital collage. i created and operate the cyberdramatic project roachprophets.net, which is completely free to explore, consisting of a website and youtube channel.

i grew up in new jersey. i graduated from the university at albany in 2020. i have been a professional working actor since 2018 and a multimedia artist since 2020.
