As a producer, I have produced Off-Broadway, Off-off Broadway, and in premiere theatre across Chicago, New York, and California.

I focus on creating new platforms for stories that have the opportunity to change policy, society, and our legal system: whether through silly comedies that focus on the ethnic experience, new musicals about being an immigrant or first-generation transplant growing up in the world, or new plays about the Middle Eastern Diaspora or the Indian Partition. 

I also focus on community engagement and programming events. Independently, and through my theatre company Pop Up! Productions, we have been commissioned by the Innocence Project and Road2Reentry to incorporate theatre for the oppressed pedagogy and other drama styles to teach lawyers how to communicate to trauma-impacted clients as well as help formerly incarcerated individuals tell their stories. 

I have recently received funding from the Jeff Awards and The Chicago Forum for Free Speech and Expression to develop an epistemological reparation curriculum centered on presenting stories-- and giving those truths back --to those who have had their narratives overwritten by a larger power. Through a three-stage process, storytellers will engage in restorative justice sessions, theatre workshops, poetry workshops, and visual art workshops to determine which medium is best for them to use to tell their truths. They will then be paired with an artist mentor to develop their piece, to then be presented on a tour throughout the City of Chicago. This project's goal is to marry the power of theatre with social change. For more information, please see the following slideshow.
