Bio

Born and raised in Studio City, I’m a Hollywood girl at heart and at home. I’m also a genre writer, a true nerd’s nerd, a video game addict, a reptile freak, and a New York City convert. I live in character-focused, grounded, political sci-fi, feminist horror, present-day, and near-future dystopian worlds. My work draws from my favorite screenwriters and novelists, the architects of my internal dialogue: Jesse Armstrong, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Zach Cregger, R.F. Kuang, Octavia Butler, and Douglas Adams. All writers who have taught me to interrogate systems with wit, depth, humor, humanity, and hope. I return again and again to themes of power, identity, control, and rebellion.

  • “An enraging experience in which, much like Akyra, we find a reason to keep fighting for the ones we love... A love letter to sci-fi and dystopian stories.”

    OXIS - BlueCat TV, 2025

  • “A fun, fast-paced read. The friendship and ultimately budding relationship between Cassie and Michelle is enjoyable to root for, as they form a messy but supportive team for each other.”

    NIGHT SHOOT - BlueCat, 2026

  • “An Elevated genre series with appeal to platforms like Max or Prime Video. The near-future setting, dystopian atmosphere, and first-contact premise invite comparisons to Children of Men and The Leftovers.”

    OXIS - PAGE Awards, 2025

  • “The kind of high-octane action series that would likely perform well on a streamer like Netflix or a prestige cable outlet like FX.”
