I am a Philadelphia-based Intimacy Coordinator, movement director, and multidisciplinary artist working across film, theater, and live performance. I am an IDC-certified Intimacy Coordinator, trained through the SAG-AFTRA–accredited IDC Professionals program, with over 15 years of experience in embodied storytelling, choreography, and collaborative creation.

My path to intimacy coordination comes through movement. Trained in dance, physical theater, and devised performance, I am deeply interested in how bodies communicate meaning—on camera, on stage, and in relationship to one another. This foundation allows me to support directors and performers in staging intimate material that is clear, contained, and aligned with both artistic vision and production realities.

I hold a B.A. in Dance & Movement Studies and Theater from Emory University and an M.F.A. in Devised Performance Practice from Pig Iron Theatre Company / University of the Arts. My artistic training includes Lecoq-based physical theater, Laban Movement Analysis, contemporary and street-dance-theater forms, and burlesque and cabaret performance. These practices inform a nuanced understanding of agency, consent, power, humor, and vulnerability—core elements of intimacy work.

Alongside my film and theater work, I am a maker of interdisciplinary performance and visual installation. My long-term project Grief Snake Skin explores grief, ritual, and somatic transformation through movement, installation, and durational practice. This inquiry into embodiment and loss deeply shapes how I approach care, presence, and communication in collaborative spaces.

I currently teach Movement for Actors and have served as an intimacy director and movement specialist within university and institutional settings, working closely with emerging performers and creative teams. Across all contexts, I am known for calm leadership, clear communication, and an ability to translate complex emotional material into practical, repeatable physical action.

Whether coordinating intimacy on set, directing movement for the stage, or creating original performance work, my practice centers the body as a site of meaning, memory and storytelling.
