I’m a Los Angeles-based multi-hyphenate with maybe one too many hyphens (author, screenwriter, director, actress, and Frenchie dog mom), but it’s only because I’m absolutely passionate about storytelling in all its forms.
My background is in comedy, and my sketch duo, Yes Please Comedy, reached over 1 million views on YouTube, collaborated with Comedy Central and Funny or Die, and developed a pilot with DIGA Studios (the production company behind Teen Wolf).
I have since ventured into darker speculative narratives with my directorial debut “Subject 3,” which premiered in 2020 at FrightFest. My short films and digital series have also screened at LA Film Festival, Raindance, NYTVF, LA Shorts, Phoenix Film Festival, NewFilmmakers LA, and more.
My YA paranormal fantasy, HOW TO KILL A DEAD GIRL, will publish with Penguin Random House in summer 2027.
Although my work spans formats and genres, my goal is always the same: to help others feel less alone.

Brand & Mission
I tell stories about what our world would look like with dark magic and monsters, and often include mental health rep based on my own experiences. My taste leans contemporary with grounded speculative elements, complicated villains, morally gray characters, dark humor, and strong romantic subplots.
I felt alone for so much of my life and book and movies were the one place where I felt seen. I hope my work can be that for other people, too.
