Hello. I'm a queer, autistic screenwriter, filmmaker and performer from south west Sydney. My work centres my lived experience in stories about identity, authenticity and belonging, told in my signature dry comedic tone. I believe in the art of vulnerability as an antidote to my personal thematic, shame, and I practise my craft with the aim of sharing stories that reflect and connect with audiences who need them.


My production background includes time at Flickerfest, Network Ten, Goalpost Pictures and various TVC production companies. I produced shorts at Metro Screen, and created independent dramedy web series, I Know You Are, crowd-funded via the Australian Cultural Fund. My short, Vibe-Raters, was a grant winner and finalist in Quit Victoria and MQFF’s Keep the Vibe Alive competition.


At AFTRS, I focused on screenwriting. My first feature screenplay, Hi-Vis Hayley, is a semi-autobiographical story about a queer suburban woman trying to find love in her late thirties. Melissa Lee Speyer is attached as script editor. I recently completed the Co-Curious Stories Online program for emerging Western Sydney screenwriters and the AWG’s First Break program. I'm a recipient of the FINCH scholarship at NIDA where I'm completing my MFA in Dramatic Writing.
