I'm an actor, storyteller (stage & fight director), and educator. I'm a text lover on a mission to break down the barriers between audiences and heightened text, because big stories that tackle big questions belong to everyone.

Recent theatrical credits include: The Taming of the Shrew (Mortal Fools Collective), The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Tempest (Vagabond Shakespeare), a swing in the premiere of Alice (South Carolina Children's Theatre), Henry IV: Tread on Kings (Elsewhere Shakespeare), The Ides: Julius Caesar (Shakespeare and Friends), A Midsummer Night's Dream (Warehouse Theatre), and The Knight of the Burning Pestle (Sweet Tea Shakespeare).

I'm also a co-founder of Mortal Fools Collective, a mobile theatre company producing classical works. Read a review of our staged reading of 'Tis Pity's She's a Whore here!

Born and raised in South Carolina, I hold an MFA in Shakespeare and Performance from Mary Baldwin University, where I wrote an award-winning thesis about Henry V and once got the note from a director to try and look "less excited" while holding a dagger on stage. I'm currently a Lecturer of Theatre/Acting at Clemson University, where I teach courses on acting, Shakespeare, and stage combat.

While not to stage, you can catch me reading any historical signage I come across, playing my mandolin, or regaling someone with a summary of the latest historical podcast I've listened to.
