Hello, and welcome to my website!A bit about me -- as a writer, I try to blend comedy and drama to explore coming of age as something we experience multiple times in our lives, not just in a single moment as teenagers. My work focuses mainly on women's experiences and is inspired by historical and personal events.Born and raised in New York City, I studied dance at LaGuardia High School, then earned a Bachelor's in Drama and Media Studies from Vassar College. I was a playwriting apprentice with New York Stage and Film and have taken coursework at UCLA, NYU, Upright Citizens Brigade, Laughing Buddha, and Gotham Writers.Most recently, I moved to London and completed an MA in Screenwriting at UAL.
