Bio
Born with Charcot Marie Toothe disease, I grew up witnessing how inadequate disability accommodations often are. I developed a passion for writing and theater at an early age, and I graduated from college in 2023 with a degree in theater. Much of my work centers around disability rights, representation in media/theater, and education as I weave my personal experiences with current events and research. In my spare time, I enjoy playing power wheelchair soccer.
