THINGS I WRITE ABOUT

  • Carving your own path in life, the power of personal agency

  • Telling your story online, creating an authentic online presence

  • Improv comedy’s lessons for life and work (SXSW audience favorite for a session on this)

  • Motherhood: parenting a neurodivergent child

  • Motherhood: balancing it with your creative life and identity

TV Scripts

I write 30-minute feminist dramedies about women finding the courage to be who they really are (instead of, you know, all the things mom and dad and advertisers and the patriarchy would like them to be).

  • “Yes, Andrea” (a 2020 Sundance Episodic Lab finalist) is about the artistic director of a small-time, suburban improv theater who struggles to have the same confidence in her everyday life that she finds onstage. It helps to have a community of fellow weirdos.

  • “Liberated” is about three Gen X women in Brooklyn — best friends since college — trying to find their purpose in the wake of the 2016 election. As these long-time middle-aged friends navigate career and family, self-expression and social responsibility, they always come back to each other — and to the realization that they are essential to each other’s liberation.

  • “Fair” is about a chronically responsible 30-something woman who is poised to take over her family’s summer fair in a small Maine town, only to discover that her dad is handing the reins to her chronically underperforming brother instead. In desperation, she turns to her worst nightmare: Her overbearing mother.
