I work at the intersection of performance and screen practice, narrative inquiry, and contemplative attention, across film, theatre, and performer training.

My focus is on how performers develop agency, creative presence, and sustainable practice within training cultures and professional environments. Across studio and classroom contexts, I’m interested in how attention and narrative shape identity formation, evaluative pressure, and creative decision-making over time.
