At heart, I'm a small town Kentucky girl who fell in love with cinema watching Hitchcock and Wilder on Turner Classic Movies. After teaching high school film for over a decade, I started making movies filled with misfits and antiheroes, films that take big swings. My scripts have been shortlisted at Cinestory, Austin Film Festival, Sundance Labs, CBS Mentoring Program, Launchpad, Screencraft, WeScreenplay, Stage32, and more. My shorts have been selected for Film Quest, Rome International Film Festival, Sidewalk Film Festival, Austin Comedy Film Festival, Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival, Phoenix Film Festival, Texas Black Film Festival, BabeFest and more. In 2023, I co-founded the writers first production company SEQUENCE 8. I also serve as Co-Founder and Festival Director of the Black Auteur Film Festival. On the non-fiction side, I'm a reporter for the Austin Free Press and freelance at Ms. Magazine. I'm represented by literary manager Anastaysia Kukhtareva at Wildflower.
