I am a playwright, screenwriter, and educator.

 

​My work explores the body, beauty, control issues, female friendships, wellness culture, aspirational cookware, oral hygiene, winter sports, childhood mental illness, and pugs. 


Recent projects include a horror-comedy set in a fitness studio (PassionSculpt.; 2024 O’Neill NPC Semi-Finalist) and a pilot about the daughter of a big-time mommy-blogger (Poster Child).

 

I received my M.F.A. in Dramatic Writing from Carnegie Mellon University and my B.A. from Kenyon College, where I was awarded the James E. Michael Prize in Playwriting.
