I'm a graduate of USC's Film & Television Production program, where I studied writing, directing, and acting. I grew up just outside San Francisco, organizing the children's section at my mom's bookstore, skipping school to get R.L. Stine's autograph, and writing fanfic as a Warriors cat on Neopets.

I'm represented by Molly Ker Hawn at David Higham Associates. My upcoming contemporary YA novel, Influenced, follows San Francisco girls navigating college pressure, image, and ambition.

In my work, I love blending high/low culture to tell stories about impetuous young women—their obsessive friendships, messy romances, and the moral gray areas in which they operate in pursuit of their dreams.

My 1910s Sex and the City-style television pilot placed second in Script Pipeline’s annual screenplay competition and in the top 8 scripts in Slamdance’s screenplay contest, among others. I’ve also edited content for Snapchat and worked in the writers’ rooms on Hulu’s Dollface and Amazon’s YA Cruel Intentions reboot.

As an audiobook narrator, I’ve worked with Macmillan, Amazon, Scholastic, and more, narrating across genre—from rom-com, to YA, to fantasy.

Currently, I’m running the Silver Lake Reservoir, in the booth recording, playing Fortnite, or working on my next book❤️‍🔥
