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 an immersive rom-com set along a backpacking trail (The Thru-Hikers; 46 Minutes Collective Writers Group) and feature screenplay about a skeleton athlete (SLEDHEAD; 2025 Sloan Student Grand Jury Prize Honorable Mention).

 

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.
