About

I'm a screenwriter based in Naarm/Melbourne.I cut my teeth in Vancouver, first in production and later in scripted development. I was formerly the Executive Producer's Assistant to Mr. Stephen Hegyes, and the Showrunner's Assistant to Mr. Simon Barry on WARRIOR NUN (Netflix). I was also Development Coordinator at Reality Distortion Field Inc (RDF).At RDF I developed projects based on novels, graphic novels, international formats, and original specs. I worked with showrunners to develop content for buyers including Netflix, Amazon, Apple, HBO, Syfy, Warner Bros., CBC, and Conde Nast. I worked on international treaty co-productions with Germany and the UK, and independent Canadian productions utilising public funding incentives.I came home during the pandemic and transitioned into writing. I wrote a pilot based on the New York Times best selling novel "Sadie" by Courtney Summers. Based on the script I was able to secure the adaptation rights to the novel, and the project was in development at Orange Entertainment Co.I'm currently developing new original series concepts, and working in writers' rooms across Naarm/Melbourne.In a previous life I worked in the startup world, as a founder and at startup accelerators. I have a background in Law.
