About

From the Berkshires to Yale

From a small town in the Berkshire hills, I am a writer, director, and actor now studying Creative Writing in my final year in college. Due to the tremendous sacrifices of my parents, a public school English teacher and fiber artist SweetBauerKnits, I was able to attend the Bement School from Kindergarten to 8th Grade, then Deerfield Academy for high school, the Iowa Young Writers' Studio for a summer, and now am at Yale University for my undergraduate experience. 

WRITING

My fiction, essays, and poetry have been published in magazines such as The Yale Herald, The Yale Daily News Magazine, The New Journal, Caesura Journal, and Spires Magazine. Currently, I am writing a novel-length manuscript, a short story cycle that delves into the intricacies of small-town life in Western Massachusetts.

THEATRE

At Yale, I have had the privilege of directing two successful musicals, Once and Mean Girls. The latter, serving as the Yale Dramatic Association's Commencement Musical, was brought to life in under two weeks and achieved record-breaking success as the highest-grossing musical in the Association's recent history. Next fall, I look forward to directing a TDPS Senior Project production of Marsha Norman's 'night, Mother, among other exciting projects.
