About
I am based in Brooklyn, NY and was raised in Littleton, CO. I am enthusiastic about work that is joyous, full, complex, and playful. As a mixed-race Japanese and Jewish American woman, I am interested in stories that complicate traditional notions of femininity and race. Lately, I’m obsessed with playing Shakespeare’s young women and making them as messy, complex, and human as I am.
I have helped develop work at Dixon Place, Ma-Yi Theater Company, Target Margin Theater, and Corkscrew Theater Festival, and performed at Milwaukee Rep, the American Shakespeare Center, and the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
Favorite roles include Hero in Much Ado About Nothing, Lady Anne in Richard III, Marina in Pericles, Miranda in The Tempest, Scheherazade—and many, many others—in the nine-hour production One Night, and myself in a devised play about ghosts called Our House is Haunted.
I received my BA in Theater from Barnard College, where I spent most of my time doing obscure German plays and watching Firefly.
