Bio

With a passion for writing for both stage and screen…

I’m a playwright and screenwriter who creates unique and innovative storytelling with women at the heart, exploring the often untold and unexplored, in uncommon ways.

Study of my passion only occurred after a former career working in social welfare, discrimination and human rights. In addition to my initial degree in Social Welfare, I now hold a Graduate Certificate in Screenwriting, Graduate Diploma in Media Arts & Production & a Master of Arts in Creative Writing.

Since graduating in 2016, my short plays have been performed in festivals around the world, receiving both Judges and Peoples Choice awards. In 2019, my first full-length play, ‘The Deal’ was shortlisted for the Silver Gull Play Award, with in 2022, my second full length play ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ chosen as runner up for the Edythe Brook Cooper Playwriting Competition. In 2022 & 2023 my short play ‘Homework’ in addition to being performed in five countries across seven cities, won the Mini Script category at the 2023 Scriptwriters & Co International Festival in Bath, UK.

My feature length screenplays, ‘Within An Echo’ and ‘Wrong Shade of Blue’ since 2022, have received a number of placings in a variety of competitions. Notably, ‘Wrong Shade of Blue’ as a Quarterfinalist in the 2023 Academy Nicholl Fellowships, as a Semi-finalist for the Stowe Story Labs/Tangerine Entertainment Fellowship, as well as a Semi-finalist in the WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Lab. My Sci-Fi drama ‘Within An Echo’ is currently a Finalist for The Stacey A. Davis Fellowship with Stowe Story Labs and has notably paced as a Semi-finalist in the Stage 32 Female Driven Screenplay Competition in 2022 and recently was selected as a Quarterfinalist in the 2024 Emerging Screenwriters and Unique Voices Competition. And, my short screenplay ‘Dead Letters’ made the Top 50 for Roadmaps Shorts Competition for 2024.

My goal is to continue to explore the truth of women’s lived experiences through my writing, especially centring women over a certain age, with the hope of evoking empathetic connection, that creates both impact and change.

Below is an outline of all of my work, including my plays, screenplays and productions I have directed.
