Values
I deeply value community and the unique way theatre unites us. As a passionate advocate for equity in creative spaces, I believe that fostering inclusion is essential to any artistic project. For me, a strong work ethic is the cornerstone of all successful theatrical work, and I am fully dedicated to honing my craft.
Collaborating with others to bring theatre to life brings me immense joy, and I cherish every opportunity to contribute—whether through performing, directing, reading, or simply watching. Theatre is an art form that touches every aspect of life, and I believe it must be nurtured and protected for the betterment of society
