New Memoir Podcast!

Welcome to “Our Lives Aren’t That Interesting,” a show for those who feel like they aren’t worth mentioning, Spoilers: you are. And the world is better with you in it.

I am so excited to be bringing you this podcast. So many of you have been asking for a memoir of not just me, but my parents, because of the…let’s say adventurous stories we’ve lived through.

We want to share what we’ve learned, how we celebrate in the midst of everything going wrong, why our first dog was terrified of the toaster: the funny, the heartbreaking, and everything in between.

All to remind you that you are valuable even when you’re just living, and the world is better with you in it.

So be prepared for lots of energy, my dad and me getting sidetracked while my mom just shakes her head, and the lessons we’ve learned that help make our lives better.

New Shakespeare Podcast!

Welcome to “An Aspec Guide to Shakespeare,” a show for those who’d rather hear their dog bark at a crow than someone swear they love them.

As an aspec Shakespeare actor, I want to create the resource I haven’t had yet. A space made by and for aspec community to shine, where scholars can share ideas and artists can turn dramaturgies into action (and productions).
