Hello!
I am a writer, performer, and teaching artist with over 25 years of theatre experience, currently working in XR. My main focus is how comedy translates in the virtual space and I use both Quest and HTC Vive headsets, full body tracking, and Index high fidelity hand tracking for exploration. My work has been shown at OnBoardXR 4, the Phoenix Improv Festival, Active Replica’s Constellation Project, FIVARS, VRCon, The Gray Area, and Raindance Film Festival. I’ve also been interviewed at SF Design Week and Raindance Immersive Festival and completed an artist residency at the Open Online Theatre in London.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Drama from San Francisco State University and a Masters in Public Administration from Seattle University.
