My Shows
As a musical theatre writer, I am driven by the transformative power of storytelling through the collaboration of music and drama. Each story, usually about an ordinary person achieving extraordinary things, has the ability to inspire and transform the world around us. My goal for each piece is to take you on an unforgettable journey through an epic tale or simplistic beauty, granting you the freedom to experience hope, heartbreak, and a little magic.
