Screenwriting
As an anxious Jewish kid growing up in the sleepy town of London - my passion for writing came from my desire to turn chaos into silliness. Now in my 30s, I still love combining pain with the puerile.
I find myself drawn to writing dysfunctional female characters at their lowest points, who are often desperate for validation or proudly unlikeable (a product of being a recovering people pleaser myself).
I studied TV writing at UCLA’s School of Theater, Film & Television, where my three scripts received consistently high recognition from the industry professors.
Take a look at some of my screenplays:
BadLand
When a failing ad agency gets a new Executive Creative Director, the team jostle for her validation. Can they pull themselves together and save the agency, or will they crumble under the pressure?
Mimi & the Mimis
When a co-dependent and socially anxious 23-year-old loses her best friend to a boy, her inner voices appear as real characters and sabotage her happiness.

Dreamscapers
In a near-future world where personal boundaries are blurred, teen misfits commit the ultimate invasion of privacy – hacking into their bully’s dreams. Will they piece together a murder or find something they wish they hadn’t?
