I am a multi-disciplinary artist working as a producer, director, designer, and deviser for live performance with Filipinx/Scottish/English ancestral roots. I live and work in Washington, D.C. -- the ancestral land of the Nacotchtank and Piscataway tribes as well as our nation's capital, a city built on the labor of enslaved and indentured people. I am the Artistic Lead for Theatre at Flying V as well as the Digital Producer for Theater Alliance. As a director and devised performance maker, I create athletic and thought-provoking experimental work that explores themes of displacement, home, forced experience, and identity. As a projections and multimedia designer I am interested in how we engage, ignore, enhance, and remember our personal and shared history. I am a DCCAH Fellowship Awardee, a recipient of a 2019 Helen Hayes Award for my design work on Blood At The Root with Theater Alliance, was a 2017-2018 NextLOOK Resident and a recipient of the 2018 Jim Henson Puppetry Grant.
