(and scifi nerd)

I specialize in digital dramaturgy and science fiction plays.

I create shows inspired by our potential future, using speculative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy tropes. I write and perform scifi story-telling shows, direct new plays, and help playwrights develop their work. My theatre-making and academic research practices overlap quite a lot.

My masters thesis focused on the history of digital and online theatre (Master of Letters, University of Glasgow, 2021); my PhD Second Wave Digital Theatre: A Guidebook furthered this work to understand the combination of technology and cultural changes leading to innovations in new media theatre and performance (Flinders University, 2025).

Currently, my research focuses include post-pandemic creative practices incorporating (or rejecting) digital media and technology, artificial intelligence and its relationship to artists, and novel methodologies for making live performances or probing digital humanities.

Since 2016, I have travelled the world to fringe festivals with my speculative fiction performances. I have won sold out show, critic’s choice, and producer’s choice awards at several festivals over the years. When I perform my futuristic writing, I do so under my production company, Giant Nerd Productions. As of 2020, I have also toured several online fringe festivals, including the Milwaukee Fringe, Brighton Fringe, Pittsburgh Fringe, and Online@TheSpaceUK (season 2). 

As a dramaturg, director, and writer who focuses on brand new plays, I worked on innovative shows produced by Annex Theatre, Copious Love Productions, Theater Schmeater, and Taproot Theatre in Seattle, Washington. I have also worked with digital theatre productions including OnBoardXR.

I am an alumna of Director’s Lab West (Pasadena, 2014), and a summa cum laude graduate of the University of South Carolina (Bachelor’s of Liberal Arts, theatre, 2006).
