I write high-concept TV and features that center rule-breaking women in dynamic, high-stakes worlds. I like writing juicy setups and complicated characters who take up space, get into trouble, and struggle to figure themselves out: whether they’re stealing designer handbags, faking a relationship, or walking away from the life they thought they wanted.

I work across genres, but I’m especially drawn to character-driven dramas about identity and ambition and to edgy romantic comedies with heart.

My pilots American Larceny: Birkins Bandits and The Mental Game both advanced as Second Rounders at the 2025 Austin Film Festival. My rom-com Irish Goodbye was a Quarter-Finalist at the 2024 PAGE International Screenwriting Awards, and my pilots LOOTERS and Sweet, Sweet Fantasy were Second Rounders at the 2022 Austin Film Festival
