Ever since I was four years old, when I forced my parents to watch and act out THE WIZARD OF OZ every night, I have been captivated by the power of stories to transform the mundane into the magical. After attending NYU's MFA filmmaking program, I now write and direct elevated genre films about wounded characters learning to forgive themselves. My screenplay TIME FLIES won Bronze in the 2024 PAGE Awards, my screenplay HIT ME HARDER was featured on the 2020 GLAAD List, my web series ROOT FOR THE VILLAIN was an official selection of the 2018 Austin and Bentonville Film Festivals, and my first feature film as a writer/director, UPON WAKING, won the Alternative Spirit Award at the Rhode Island Film Festival and was distributed by Buffalo 8. I am available for open writing assignments, and am seeking collaborators with whom to bring my second feature film to life.
