“I survived Hollywood. Now I’m here to make it better.”
I am a true HOLLYWOMAN — a WGA screenwriter, brand writer, actor, producer, singer-songwriter, and comedian. I’ve had a real journey through Hollyweird — from the Me-Toos, Meet-Cutes, Big Breaks, Big Breakdowns, Big Breakthroughs, and Big Dreams — like Pickled, the female-led pickleball comedy I wrote, am producing, and am starring in with SNL’s Leslie Jones, Eleanor Kerrigan (to be Jones’ directorial debut). I wrote Pickled with Beri Cheetham — a 200+ award-winning ad-world legend whose credits include Old Spice’s “The Gentleman Hunt” and “I Saw Your Willy”… and being my dad’s Pickleball partner, which, frankly, is the real headline.
I’ve had a movie optioned by Village Roadshow, developed a rom-com with Mike Medavoy and Andy Fleming for Phoenix Pictures, created TV shows with Nicolas Cage, Kunal Nayyar, and Jeff Garlin (which included the creators of Curb your Enthusiasm, Max Greenfield, and show runner Erin O’Mally). As a true Hollywoman, I’m just as proud of what I’ve walked away from — sexism, abuse, and shady deals — to protect my peace and tell the truth about what I’ve actually been through in Hollyweird. (I’m also still owed over $100K by a bankrupt movie studio. If that doesn’t get paid soon, I may end up back in the Craigslist gigs section. Full circle?).
I’ve written award-winning comedic ads for brands like Apple, Pocket Fm, and Den Meditation, and billboard copy for acclaimed HBO show’s like Insecure and White Lotus. I’ve also written brand jingles like Bloom into You for female-empowering brands like Divinely Human by Jamie Wozny. My creative partnership with Beri Cheetham has also spilled into the ad world as we’ve co-written several ads for brands like Dormeo and their cutting edge mattress toppers. The only time I’ve publicly admitted to loving three inches in the sheets.
On stage, I have performed in comedy shows like Laugh Riot Grrrl and Stranger than Fiction, which, if I were writing billboard copy for my own life, would be the tagline. I’ve starred in several hit digital TV series for LoveXO alongside internet stars like Txunamy Ortiz (5.4M+), and in viral programs like Familia Diamond (11.5M). I’ve appeared in films like Guest House alongside Bobby Lee, Aimeé Teegarden, and Pauly Shore. I’ve written, produced, acted in and co-directed Funny or Die sketches like PSA: Millennials in the Workplace and my own TV Pilot Love Not Likes, working with talented actors like Nikki Soohoo, The Kaplan Twins, Eleanor Kerrigan and Dylan Mulvaney.
Currently, I’m focused on my Crazy Ex-Girlfriend-esk TV Pilot (about my life & past lives), my Pickleball comedy, Pickled, which will mark Leslie Jones’ directorial debut; my Broadway and movie musical Butterflies that I’ve written with composer James Allen Roberson (The Crown, Old Dads, Barry, Happy Gilmore 2, Veep Spirit Riding Free). I’m also extremely excited about my original movie Candyland based on the Hasbro board game with with Kim Eva Mutuka, which I created with talented actor and writer, Reilly Baker.
I’m represented by attorney Eric Brooks (whose clients include Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe, and Neil Patrick Harris). For commercial acting I’m repped by Laura Soo Hoo, but I’m seeking the right agent or management team who can truly understand my authentic voice and range.
I’m here to burn the patriarchy down one musical theater number at a time, expose dark truths lurking beneath the surface of Hollyweird, and bring some much-needed feminine power to this twisted town.
