I trained as a director at Australia’s prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA).

In theater, I work as a director, dramaturg, actor, deviser, and writer, depending on the needs of the project.

I also have 20 years experience in Waldorf / Steiner education and training in relational education (nature/other/self), anti-racism and facilitation.

I am a breath, voice, presentation and creativity coach. I am also an acting teacher with focus on the Yat Malmgren technique. I coach groups and individuals, and also work with schools, teachers and parents.

I’m also a facilitator of transitional moments for groups or individuals. Learn more about this work at springofrites.com.

Much of my work is conducted out of my home studio in West Oakland.

I am proud to be associated with two SF Bay Area activist theaters:

3Girls Theatre which develops, promotes and presents new work by emerging women+ playwrights from doubly marginalized communities. Those women+ who are over 40, and/or BIPOC and/or LBTQ+ and/or AFAB non-binary / gender queer.

Aviva Arts, an arts and wellness hub which rose from the closure of foolsFURY Theater and focuses on uplifting the stories of those less heard and creating theater and events for wellness and healing.
