My parents met in the 70s, working at a McDonald’s in Brooklyn, NY. They instilled in me a solid work ethic and let’s face it… a serious love of French fries.

They also sent me to an all girls Catholic high school. It was during these peak years of my teenage angst that I started acting and fell in love with storytelling.

But when I was eighteen I experienced an enormous amount of grief over the sudden loss of my mother.

In an effort to outrun my sadness, I moved to the other side of the world, living and studying in Australia and later England. I traveled around most of Europe, Greece and Egypt, but I learned that no matter how far I went… my loss was still right there with me.

So I headed home to heal. With time, I learned how to love and laugh again.

Grief somehow turned into my artistic superpower, inspiring me to write and direct stories about people who value the chosen family and defy society's unrealistic standards around human connection and processing loss.

My MFA is in TV writing, from Stony Brook University, a program led by Alan Kingsberg and Christine Vachon of Killer Films.

I currently reside in Queens with my incredible husband - the whisky to my French fries. I’m a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and The Independent Writers’ Caucus, a teaching artists at The Barrow Group, *and a volunteer with the 52nd Street Project playmakers.

*re: the Oxford comma - I’m still deciding how I feel. Don’t judge me.
