Hi! I am a Brooklyn based storyteller with a background in creating and performing theater. I grew up studying Shakespeare and Molière in Washington, DC. I received a BA in Theatre from Muhlenberg College, where I concentrated in Acting and Performance Studies. While at school I was lucky enough to spend a semester studying commedia and clown at the Accademia dell’Arte in Arezzo, Italy. Over the years I’ve taught chess, acting, text analysis, and outdoors skills to kids of all ages through a variety of educational programs.
I believe the most inspiring part of running games of Dungeons & Dragons is the notion that sitting around the table with character sheets feels like a new version of sitting around the campfire, telling communal stories. It’s exciting to watch young players learn the joy of working together to build a story.
Out of all the creatures I play in Dungeons & Dragons my favorites are friendly goblins, down on their luck dwarves, and big dumb ogres.
