I am a playwright and actor currently living in Brooklyn, NY. 

A current resident playwright at New Dramatists and the 2010-2012 The Women's Project Lab, my plays have been produced/developed at The Kennedy Center, The Women's Project, PlayPenn, Theater J,  and The Working Theater, among others.

Honey Brown Eyes (Working Theater, NYC Theater J, Washington, DC) won the 2009 Helen Hayes Award for Best New Play or Musical and was published in the February 2009 issue of American Theatre Magazine.  

The Electric Baby has received development at PlayPenn, and received WAM Coalition's 2011 Women's Collaboration Award and will premiere at Quantum Theatre in Pittsburgh in Spring 2012.
