Professional experience
After embarking my career in theater as an actor and teaching artist, I've gained credits with several notable companies, including Milwaukee Repertory Theater, First Stage Children’s Theater, Black Arts Mke. and more. Over time, I was able to expand further, gaining voiceover work with WUWM Milwaukee’s NPR and teaching the course, “Performance and Collaborative Arts,” with the First Wave Hip Hop and Urban Arts Scholarship Program of UW-Madison. Eventually, I made my official director’s debut in 2023, and since then have directed five productions and even stepped into the role of founder/producer, overseeing the new theater company Nobleman Theater Troupe.
