“I am an over-communicator. I have been anxious to be understood, truly understood, clearly, for as long as I can remember. I have therefore always been drawn to the art of storytelling. Early in my performance career, I fell in love with the realization that my mere presence could tell a story before I ever opened my mouth. In training at AMT, I am able to bring this love of using physicality to tell vivid stories to a like-minded community of artists and collaborators.”
