Directing
Welcome to my directing portfolio. I have spent the last 7 years perfecting my process through children's theatre and have begun to transition toward directing adults in community theatre and semi-professional spaces. I will continue to build my directing experience alongside my ambitions in acting and am open to opportunities bound to come.
