About me

Hello! I’ve been running D&D 5e for about five years and specialize in welcoming new players into the game. I run a D&D club for teenagers and also run engaging, story-driven campaigns for adults of all experience levels. My games tend to be roleplay-heavy, with a focus on character choices, strong NPCs, and immersive storytelling. I also love running combat and keep encounters dynamic and characterful by fully inhabiting the creatures and giving each fight meaning. If you’re the kind of player who wants your backstory to matter, I’m great at weaving player ideas into the world while keeping things focused on the main story and whatever the party finds most exciting. Whether you're brand new or returning after a long break, I'm excited to help you feel at home at the table.

GM Style

I like to focus on roleplay and character-driven storytelling. I have a theatre background, so acting and improv are some of my favorite parts of the game. I do some character voices, especially for key NPCs, and I always try to make scenes feel alive and engaging. I'm also a teacher, so I'm very comfortable helping new players learn the game at their own pace. Whether you're new to D&D or just trying a new playstyle, I'm happy to explain mechanics, walk through choices, and make sure you feel confident at the table. Combat in my games is tactical and meaningful, with a strong narrative connection. I stick to the rules as a foundation, but I love creativity—if you can find a clever way to do something within the spirit of the rules, I’ll usually support it. Expect interesting monsters, twists on familiar tropes, and plenty of opportunities to shape the world through your character’s choices.
