About Jo
I am aN actor, mUSICIAN & Advocate BASED IN NEW YORK CITY.
I grew up in montana on a ranch and farm
And I learned all about folk music by playing fiddle in a folk band with my parents and siblings.
Traditional music was my first love…
…and the stage Was my second love.
I’ve been working as an actor in New York City for the past 13 years.
As a farm kid from middle of nowhere Montana — I have to say — I still have culture shock.
Nevertheless, I love New York and its ARTISTIC community.
In 2017, I was diagnosed with profound hearing loss in both my ears. LEARNING HOW NAVIGATE THIS NEW…
identity. disability. Facet?
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREAT ADVENTURES OF MY LIFE.
over the years and through a lot of trial and error, I have grown into
my passion for advocating for my own accessibility and creating
safe spaces for other folks with my kind of challenges.
I am proud to call myself
Hard of Hearing/Deaf
and to be finding another home in the deaf community.
For more fun and enjoyment…
