ABOUT ME
I recognize the deep humanity and sacrifice that it takes to be an artist, and I feel it is my role to provide creators with the support, resources, and fundamental care to bring their visions to life. I want to work with good people to build meaningful collaborations and create art that in turn offers nurture and care to the world around us.
As a creative producer, I’ve spent the past 20 years investing in and developing relationships with theatremakers and changemakers whose work and approach to making it inspire me. My primary medium is theatre, but I have enjoyed following artists wherever their dreams take me – which thus far has included short films, music videos, PSAs, and reparations-based work.
I ventured into talent management when my relationship with composer Drew Gasparini naturally evolved from occasional producer to daily advisor. My management business is intentionally boutique, born of other similarly meaningful collaborations with multi-hyphenate artists who have identified the need for dedicated producing and/or strategic support in charting their unique career paths.
My third passion is teaching. Together with Sammy Lopez, Heather Shields, and Rachel Sussman I co-founded The Business of Broadway to educate artists about the business of the business and thereby empower them with greater agency. I am also an Adjunct Professor at Berklee College of Music, NYU Steinhardt, and NYU Tisch, and previously taught at Columbia University, Barnard College, and Drexel University.
