southern writer + director for theatre and film, currently based in brooklyn

i tell stories of bizarre women navigating bizarre circumstances + champions contradictions. an alum of UNCSA's drama directing program + a former peter f. sloss fellow at berkeley repertory theatre, i have worked with signature theatre, namt, 24 hour plays: broadway, and nc symphony. i recently travelled to italy to develop my next project at la mama’s international writer’s retreat, with full financial support from kenan institute!

my first film, Ruby, played at riverrun + nffty. i look forward to premiering my second film, an experimental non fiction piece, kid with a pearl earring.

some of my biggest inspirations are the progressives organizing resources for safe, accessible reproductive healthcare in the american south. should you be an affluent person scrolling on this website, i kindly implore you contribute to an organization such as yellowhammer fund or carolina abortion fund. i am very lucky to have grown up in north carolina and indebted to those who fight to make it a more equitable place every day.
