I was born and raised in Kirkland, Washington, the original home of Costco. Fueled by $1.50 hot dogs and an absurd amount of 2% milk, I joined my high school’s improv team and wrote a Scooby-Doo parody musical, titled Scooby-Doosical the Musical, falling in love with improv and writing in the process. So, in 2021, I moved to New York City to pursue a BA in Writing for Diversity and Equity in Theater and Media at Pace University.

I’ve been here ever since! At Pace I helped found and lead the improv club, Setters Unscripted, which I’m proud to say continues to run to this day, getting bigger every year. Additionally, I was part of the pilot year for Pace’s BAW4DETM program led by S. Brian Jones. As part of this program, I wrote the first drafts of Alan’s Adventure in Masculand, which won the American Studies Award as part of Pace’s English Writing Awards in 2025.

After graduating in 2025, I’ve continued to work on musicals while pursuing side projects like Use Shorter Words, a sketch group with ex-members of Setters Unscripted, and Give Me Attention (It’s My Birthday), a concert of some of my favorite songs I’ve written since I started.
