Growing up on the East Coast, they cut their baby teeth in professional theatre by performing in everything from Shakespeare and McDonagh to Brecht and Churchill. After dropping out of arts school (and a brief stint at Mardi Gras), they hitchhiked across the country to chase the American fever dream. Since landing in LA, they have appeared on multiple networks and streaming platforms and have racked up accolades from various festivals and awards, including Cannes Short Film Festival and the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA). At the 2024 HFF, they co-created and starred in Vanlyfe—a site-specific homeless epic which depicts the material challenges faced by the unhoused queer community, including mental illness, police brutality, addiction, and transphobia. Framed by their experiences as a traveler, organizer, and formerly unhoused queer person, their work primarily focuses on vulnerable populations at the fringes of the social fabric and the ways that community empowerment centers and uplifts marginalized voices. Currently, they are busy writing, playing, and building collective power on both the East and West Coast.
