As an artist, my mission is to explore the unexplored mountains of creativity and push the boundaries of conventional storytelling. I want to break molds, offer new perspectives, and redefine conventions. Through laughter, pain, sorrow, shame, and all of the nuances of the human condition, I aim to peel back the layers of possibility. I strive to produce work that is raw, real, and memorable.

I aim not only to provoke thought, but action as well. I believe that storytelling has the ability to connect people in powerful ways, create dialogue, and ask new and unsolved questions. Theatre is living and breathing, and I believe my work should be too.
