MORE ABOUT ME
For years, my work in the theater has been shaped by a distinct vantage point. As an immigrant, I have learned to inhabit multiple worlds simultaneously, observing life from between the cracks. This perspective drives my playwriting. I strive to create stories that offer fresh, unseen angles on the human condition. My plays intentionally center on female characters, ensuring women’s voices are heard with complexity and depth. Besides writing plays, I write haiku poetry, and other poetry.
WHAT I'M WORKING ON
I'm working on developing my play 'Job Well Done'. Job Well Done is an immigrant’s story of vulnerability and abandonment that explores the consequences of being vilified and falling through the cracks of the system. I'm also working on ten minute plays, I've just finished a twenty minute play called "Loops", and a monologue, "The Sounds of my Body".
