In Fall of 2019, I directed the world premiere of Abraham Johnson's play Rootless, through the production group The Thalian Blackfriars.

I worked with much younger writers when I directed for the Young Playwrights' Theatre's "All the World's a Stage" Summer Enrichment Program. I directed several elementary students in a play written by the students under the guidance of another teaching artist, which culminated in a performance at Spooky Action Theatre.

My largest directorial project to date was the musical Company, produced through Next Act. In addition to these individual projects, I assistant directed the play "Niagara Falls" at UGA Theatre under George Contini and a staged reading of the play "Mothers" at the Kennedy Center MFA Playwrights' Workshop under Lyndsay Burch.

One of my favorite writing experiences has been NIGHT OF THE LIVING GRADUATE!, which was produced site-specifically by EXPLODE, an University of Georgia student group. The threat of graduation looms large for these four college students who face off with a specter while they're trapped (with the audience) in a shoddily decorated haunted garage.

My first experience with produced writing came when I directed a short play I wrote, "from now on," at Davidson Fine Arts.
