Creative Producer
I'm a creator. Whether it's writing up field notes for my dissertation or a sketch idea for my show, I bring shape, structure, and clarity to lived experiences. I’ve produced short films, performed in stage plays and comedy shows. Currently, I am a member of Improv Boston's National Touring Company and manage Bodega Comedy, New England’s preeminent artist collective comprised of stand up, sketch, and Boston's beloved and longest-running improv troupe of color.
I combine critical thought, scholarship, and comedy in multimedia theatrical productions that center the experiences of black people and others in the diaspora. I’ve launched artistic projects and collaborations with local artists in New Orleans and Boston.
