I’m a screenwriter, essayist, and playwright, but my favorite kind of writing is where I write and you are wildly entertained.

Some highlights:

• Winner of “Best Scriptwriter” award at the La Femme International Short Film Festival, for my film SKY BURIAL

• Attended the Sundance Film Festival as part of the Talent Forum

• Writer for Parcast’s “Unsolved Mysteries” true crime podcast

As a graduate of The Theatre School at DePaul’s Playwriting program, I co-founded Sansculottes Theater Company to produce only new work, which was hailed by the Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times, and more. I moved to New York City and started another theater company, where I wrote and produced new work, winning awards as part of the New York and Philly Fringe Festivals. I moved to Los Angeles and promised not to start another theater company.

I haven’t... yet.

I have built a fabulous community, have placed in a nice handful of filmmaking, screenwriting, and playwriting contests, and continue to build that ever-loving stack of scripts.

A happy collaborator, I write about “the full catastrophe” of living: the highs and lows, and ebbs and flows of being human. My stories have lots of emotions and lots of fun, and most of my protagonists are women on the rocky journey to becoming themselves, finally.

Ask me about hitchhiking across London, deejaying in New York City, and finding friendship with my dad when he could no longer speak.
