About Me
I am an editor and creative working across theatre and the written word.
My practice explores narrative through structure, rhythm, and language, and how stories shift between page and performance. I am interested in the moment where text becomes something more than text: spoken, embodied, interrupted, or reassembled through collaboration.
Practice
My work moves between editing, theatre, and writing.
Editor
I work primarily in academic publishing, focusing on narrative structure, clarity, and coherence — how a text holds together, where it tightens, and where it begins to break.
Theatre
I work with text as a living material, often in collaborative or devised contexts where meaning develops through process, performance, and exchange.
Writer
I work with essays, poetry, and translation, with an interest in language as both form and memory.
Approach
My work is informed by literature, performance, and cultural narrative, with a focus on voice, translation, and structure.
I think of editing not only as refinement, but as construction — a way of building narrative clarity across different forms.
Working Interests

I am interested in how stories are built — and how they change when they are spoken, performed, or rewritten through collaboration.
