Get to Know Me

What does being part of Everyman’s Resident Company mean to you?

It’s so special. The Resident Company is a family of artists who are masterful, talented and amazing people.

How has your time as a Resident Company Member influenced your artistic journey or career?

It’s allowed me to have an artistic home in the city I was raised in. Having those kinds of roots keep your flowers in full bloom.

What connections do you have with Baltimore?

Born and raised here! A very proud product of an *entirely* Baltimore City public school education. My family is here, my husband is from here and there’s no better way to celebrate than steamed crabs, shrimp, corn and an orange crush!
