About me

My partner jokes that becoming a GM my final pokemon form. I started playing TTRPGs in 2017, but has been a lifelong sci-fi and fantasy nerd and actually wrote her doctoral dissertation on TTRPGS. I am a professional GM I bring over 20+ year of acting and improvisation to my GMing and I love teaching folks new games and creating stories that spark their excitement. I'm a huge fan of indie games and loves to introduce new and seasoned players alike to creative one-shots that help folks build confidence around their own ability to role-play and (hopefully) GM. When I'm not rolling dice, I am improviser and ensemble member of Malarkey Comedy. You can usually find me scouting locations for her ongoing four year campaign of Monster of the Week that’s set in an alternative spooky Chicago.

GM Style

Let's Tell Incredible Stories Together! My love for indie games along with D&D helps me create atmospheric experiences in any game session. I'm just as comfortable with digging into eerie unreal narratives in a spooky game as I am with a hijinks filled heist in 5e. My love of folklore and local history also comes through especially in Carved in Brindlewood and Vaesen. Truth is almost always stranger than fiction.
