My Story

I am a queer, genderfluid, lesbian storyteller rooted in activism through art. I live in Brooklyn, NY, and very much enjoy all things community-oriented. Having started my career in theatre in 2008, I have found that my passion is ignited most when telling queer stories and developing new works. I believe with my full chest that art is foundational to the human condition, and through this medium, we can truly enact significant change. My journey in the arts started with my love of music, spending my formative years singing with opera companies and fronting swing bands, symphonies and rock bands alike. Eventually, in my quest for world domination, I found that storytelling truly excites me, and what better way to envelope oneself in stories than to go into a career making theatre? In my theatrical adventures, I wear many hats, including Actor/Vocalist, Director, Choreographer, Casting Director, Intimacy Professional, and Audition Coach.

Sexual Orientation
iSexual orientation describes a person's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to another person.

Queer, Lesbian

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

GenderQueer / Non- Binary

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
