“All artforms are in the service of the greatest of all arts:
the art of living.”
― Bertolt Brecht

About Me

With over 15 years of experience as a professional theater and opera director, I have had the privilege of collaborating with artists from Russia, Norway, Croatia, and the United States. Through my work, I aim to provoke thought and inspire change.

One of my passions is creating inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA2S+ youth, an endeavor I lead at Ghostlight Theater Camp and Yale University. Witnessing the transformative power of the arts in young peoples' lives continues to be at the heart of my personal mission. By fostering creativity and providing a safe environment, I strive to empower the next generation of diverse voices in the performing arts.

As a Creative Coach, I am dedicated to helping artists and others unlock their full potential. Through personalized guidance and support, I aim to assist individuals in leading more meaningful and authentic lives. Together, we can embark on a journey towards self-discovery and creativity, paving the way for a future filled with endless possibilities.
