Hello! Thanks for visiting.
I am a New York City-based writer, composer, and performer who makes original works for the stage, page and screen. From an early age, I always wrote, and knew that my path in life was to combine my various curiosities and fandoms with life's big questions in order to tell impactful original stories.
I hail from the Philadelphia area, and maintain a borderline unhealthy preoccupation with all the requisite sports teams and cultural ephemera (Go Birds). I moved to New York to receive my B.A. from Fordham University Lincoln Center in Theatre and Music, I studied under teachers like Jackie Sibblies Drury, and my mentor Daniel Alexander Jones.
My obsession with collaboration has led to an eclectic body of original projects in media ranging from theater, to original music, short films, comics, and digital journalism—all as either a writer, actor, composer, or some combination thereof.
I identify as a pop culture omnivore who draws from sources far and wide, often resulting in unique and idiosyncratic combinations of forms, genres, and subject matter.
My projects Mom I Met a Chica and PLANET W have been developed at places like The New Group and Ars Nova, and the latter was named a finalist for The National Music Theater Conference at the O’Neill. I’ve been an artist-in-residence at The Village, Goddard Riverside Arts, and recently premiered my solo The Final Escape: A Houdini Story at the Gene Frankel Theater Festival (Best Actor, Best Play).
I am most often drawn to writing about identity, and characters that are in “two worlds,” or feel ill-at-ease in different aspects of their being—whether it’s shapeshifting aliens acclimating to Earth, or a bicultural kid like me trying to roll his R’s just so.
I’m proudly first generation Sicilian and Puerto Rican.
