I am a freelance stage director, with a Master of Fine Arts in Directing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Bachelor of Arts in Directing and Theatre Producing, and over 10 years professional directorial experience, working primarily in Copenhagen, Denmark.
As a collaborative leader, I have a strong sense for language and a passion for experimentation and new play development. My artistic work focuses on re-imagining text-based theatre through experimentation and new play development through a unique concept of creative co-creation. I also have a love for poetry and play development in the Spoken Word genre.
I am founder and Artistic Director of the English-language theatre Down the Rabbit Hole and, thereby, Local Artistic Director for House of International Theatre. I am also Co-Artistic Director of Teater Ord/Blindt, a professional project-based theatre company, which specialises in developing new work combing performance and poetry.

HIT is a platform for International English-speaking theatre in Copenhagen. In 2017, Down the Rabbit Hole joined forces with the Hamburg-based theatre company Manusarts and Playmate Theatre Malmo to bring this unique platform to the city of Copenhagen. HIT was housed on the top floor of Huset-KBH, where it performed 6 shows a year, offered a laboratory for international theatre artists, along with presenting showcases and a staged-reading series, and a program for kids called HIT4Kids.
In 2018, HIT moved into collaborating with other theatres in the community and expanding the platform. HIT currently produces several large scale productions and an international festival, as well as, maintaining our laboratory and staged-reading series.
