About
BAFTA-nominated screenwriter, copywriter, and producer. MFA in Writing & Producing for TV. Broadcast Hotshot 2024. Repped by Cynthia Okoye at Curtis Brown.
Musical theatre loving. Drag Queen in a past life. Eight years in the USA gave me opinions about everything — including the correct ranking of Sondheim musicals. I know everything about being a Virgo, and my cat Loki is the real creative director in this household.
I write for television, film, and brands who understand that a good story is the only thing that actually works. From BBC Three to Netflix, from Sky to your favourite ad campaign — I craft dialogue with bite, structure with purpose, and always show up with the best version of your vision.
My true mission in life is to get all brands to cater to women taller than 6ft. This is non-negotiable.
