Creative Team Experience
Playwright of
Esther's Play About Esther's Play
In February 2023, the play I wrote, Esther's Play About Esther's Play, was fully staged and produced at The University of the Arts. The play delves into identity, and how experiences, friends, struggles, and laughter frame who we are and who we become. It was such an amazing experience to have something I wrote become tangible. I hope in the future to have more opportunities playwriting and creating stories in collaboration with more brilliant artists.

UArts Theatre Towards Progress
UArts Theatre Towards Progress or "UProgress" is a student run theatre club I co-created with my friend, Dallas Austin Jimmar at The University of the Arts. Our club seeks to create performance opportunities for Brind School students, primarily for the students of color. Our goal is to give the students of color a voice and the space to create art that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
Our first event was in September 2022. UProgress produced a "Students of Color Cabaret." It was such a special night and highlighted many amazing performers of color.
