Who I Am
I write about women who survive.
Women in basements waiting out civil wars. Women on terrible first dates trying to remember who they are. Women who wake up one morning and find the world has stopped seeing them. I write about the moment just before the breaking point — and what happens after.
I came to playwriting in 2024, and I haven’t stopped. Six plays in fourteen months. Two produced in London. An agent coming to closing night.
I am an American writer working in the British fringe. I am not slowing down.
Current Production
🎭 Now Playing: 10 First Dates
Etcetera Theatre, Camden · 20–24 March 2026
Women Writers Festival
A sharp, funny, deeply human comedy about Maggie — 50, newly divorced, navigating ten disastrous first dates. Based on real experiences. Uncomfortably relatable.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Powerful and honest” — London Fringe Theatre Reviews (for Sanctuary)

One Reason to Live — a memoir about trauma, survival, and the single thread that kept me here.
