Who the heck is this mal human?

​

I'm a Boston based actor, performer, writer, healthcare clown, queer nonbinary human, activist, and volunteer providing enrichment to dogs at a local Boston shelter. 

​

I started my performance career as a stand up comedian in the 90's, moved into improv and sketch comedy then theater. 

​

I've been a professional healthcare clown for over twenty-five years at Boston Children's and Hasbro Children's Hospitals, with The Laughter League.

​

And as a former cancer patient, I write and speak about creating a more human centered, kinder, more inclusive healthcare system.

 

I write about navigating the world as a nonbinary and queer human. I use humor to push boundaries and create healing for myself and others. I write for a more inclusive welcoming world that celebrates our humanity in all its forms. 

​

I write for kids, currently working on two middle grade contemporary novels. My first novel, Welcome To Chemoville, I am currently seeking representation for publication.

​

I also write for the stage: collaborating with other artists to develop theater pieces that push for social change. 

​

The Pineapple Project is a performance piece for kids, written and performed by me and Becca A. Lewis. It's about supporting and celebrating kids being free to be their gender creative selves.
