mission statement:

My goal as an Intimacy Coordinator is to hold the director's artistic vision and the boundaries and consent of the actors with equal care and reverence. Having spent a decade as an actor, I empathize deeply with the actor experience and how it feels to embody intimate stories. My movement analysis and dance training give me language rooted in anatomy to help a director capture the intimate story they want to tell using a desexualized process. I aim to create a work environment that gives the actors space to feel empowered to explore their character’s full emotional experience knowing all the logistics of the intimate scenes have been given thought and care ahead of time.
