Creating something new, or a new take on something old is one of the most rewarding experiences someone can have. I am lucky to have the opportunity to be able to do so in two different fields: theatre and beverage.

I’m a New York multi-disciplinary theatre artist with experience in acting, directing, producing and stage management. Being a part of organizations such as The Fled Collective and Breaking & Entering Theatre Collective allow me to take on two of my passions: working on new and untold stories and working with talented artists at the beginnings of their careers.

I am also a beverage director for 4 (soon to be 5) New York restaurants. Working in the world of beverage is and has been a wonderful opportunity for me to both express myself as an artist and explore culture though the lens of what people drink and why. As a Japanese-American, it has been a beautiful experience to learn and reconnect with my culture in this way.
