She is assistant dramaturg in the music theater and concert divisions at Theater Freiburg in Germany. Currently, she’s working on Prometheus goes Taranto, a protest against industrial pollution that weaves Luigi Nono’s La fabbrica illuminata into mythology from Aeschylus and Hesiod. Last spring, she co-dramaturged the German premiere of the opera The Handmaid’s Tale, an adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s iconic novel.

Her time at the Staatstheater was supported through the Congress-Bundestag Exchange — a year-long State Department fellowship to Germany. She is proficient in German and has translated Wagner supertitles for the Glimmerglass Festival.

She’s originally from the Washington, D.C. area.
