I create and produce my own theatre, such as plays, comedy, improv, and music. In my life and work, I have always known that creativity and artistry has to be at the core of everything I do.
Ensemble productions are my favourite work. Creating art for others to enjoy is especially rewarding. So is helping spread the good news of other artists, and professional theatre organizations in Canada.
I'm very lucky to be doing what I love as my profession. Creating, producing or promoting the arts has allowed me to travel across Canada and work with amazing people.
