Writing

Whether writing about theatre, community,

or illness, I seek a deeper exploration of the experienced world through writing. It is a

creative practice that elevates the ways in which I show up in work and in life.

 

Please enjoy this sampling of my written compositions.

“If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things.”
—Anne Lamott
