PLAYWRITING

At 8 years old, I was devastated the Harry Potter series had ended. Naturally, I wrote the eighth book, "Albus Potter and the Resurrection Stone." I soon adapted it into a play and forced my fellow classmates to surrender their recess for a week to rehearse. I was super popular!

​

A decade later, rediscovering playwriting and screenwriting at Northwestern University under the guidance of Laura Schellhardt and Julie Marie Myatt has changed the trajectory of my life and redefined my love for storytelling.

 

My writing influences include Taylor Mac, Diablo Cody, Theresa Rebeck, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Aaron Sorkin, to name a few. Their rhythmic voices have bled together and fed my craft these past four years of study; it's that tonal tug-a-war between absurdism and realism, comedy and drama, camp and sincerity, mess and control, that I strive to resemble in my work. ​​
