She has been a member of a resident acting company at two professional theaters and was a Resident Director at the Barter Theatre in Abington, VA.

About the Play:
In 1905 Manhattan, Esther Mills sews beautiful corsets for a living. Her art and talent have earned her economic independence rare for an unmarried woman of color. At 35, Esther has no suitors but corresponds with George, a Barbadian laborer who is helping to build the Panama Canal. As the correspondence grows more passionate, George proposes to Esther and moves to New York to marry her. With the odds stacked against her, Esther struggles to keep her dreams alive during a time of great social and economic change.
