FOUNDER

My love affair with the deliciously strange began early. As a kid I was thrilled when my aunts’ best friends would mute the TV and improv saucy dialogue. We were transported to a queer fantasy realm filled with intrigue and desire. I didn’t catch every joke, but I loved being included.

That devotion to community and mischief eventually led me to Whatthehelm. When I’m not co‑hosting our romantasy cabarets, you’ll find me at Union Wellness, the healing haven I co‑founded.

Offstage, you’ll find me brewing potions from foraged finds, trying to make the world a little better than I found it or disappearing into yet another book.

FOUNDER

I grew up in a hyper-religious missionary family, so yeah, I experienced some pretty weird shit. I now channels that into the best of what I took from it, community building, radical hope and snake handling (jk). I’ve been a professional actor, voiceover talent and producer for 18 years and definitely experienced some more cool weird shit! Acting has been a powerful tool for empathy and alternative forms of communication. I love connection, mutual inspiration and provoking thought. In my downtime you'll find me getting lost in a book, cooking for friends, writing and reading erotica or poetry, playing D&D, dog snuggling, hanging out with my adult kids, engaging in engrossing conversation and holding hands. I believe in the power of community and the vitality of inclusion. I'm a recent transplant to Seattle and am loving making new friends here. Wanna hang out?
