Full Bio
I’m a writer and creative director based in New York City. I've worked with Fortune Brand Studio, BBC Studios, Shopify, Good Content, and The Mayo Clinic. In 2021, my short play, Fresh Arrangements, premiered at the SOOP to Nuts Festival in Pelham, NY, receiving 3rd prize in the festival and going on to win 1st prize for Best Short Production at the New York Theater Festival in 2023. My additional works have been performed in the greater New York City area. In addition to playwriting, I have a background in screenwriting and narrative development for non-fiction works.
