Why do I want to run? I have always wanted to give my heart and soul to this company and its community, and feel that my next step with this not-for-profit organization would be to learn about how the Board operates and to help it succeed.
What do I bring? I have been a freelance musician, music director and now music producer for many years, and wish to bring that perspective and those abilities to the Players team.

My involvement in Players over the years — from my first role in 2011 thru a dozen productions as performer, choreographer, writer, & director, as well as years on the Board and currently as part of the Exec — equips me to know what makes Players “Players,” while envisioning how we must change and grow to keep the company moving forward. Despite the year of Covid, I remain fiercely dedicated to the company and passionate about our charitable mission, our talented, supportive members, and our reputation as a welcoming space to share laughs, love, and rock n’ roll.
