About Me

My Work

I am  a STORYTELLER.


I'm also an innovation consultant for a tech company, where storytelling is a big part of my work.


I live a bi-urban life with my husband, commuting between New York’s West Village and Philadelphia, where home is a converted factory-warehouse in Philly’s historic Brewerytown, just a half block from where the first ever interracial baseball game was played in 1869.  


I I recently completed an M.L.A. in Creative Writing at the Harvard University Extension School, and have also just completed my first novel, Inside Henry Cato, a story about a boy growing up in Kansas with a secret fetish who dreams of one day turning that secret into something extraordinary. I've also written a novella about a woman in small-town Tennessee whose life goes terribly awry when her beloved hometown superstore starts playing host to strange and inexplicable events. I was a featured screenwriter at New York’s 26th Annual IFP Market for my original screenplay, Confessions of a Dead Woman. My screenplay Killing Bull was awarded first place in the Screenwriters Online Master Class.

My Community

After many years in San Francisco and New York, my husband and I bought a partially refurbished warehouse/factory in Philadelphia at the start of the 2020 pandemic. In addition to finding inspiration for our own creative endeavors, we house a maker studio, gallery, and event space. When we're not writing, painting or building in Philly, you can find us in the West Village and other parts of New York City breathing in the energy and vitality that almost no other place on earth can deliver.

What Inspires Me

I write stories about ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges, and how humans overcome adversity and the feeling of being an outsider by remaining true to themselves. I am inspired by creators who take risks, by crazy impossible ideas, and by my husband, Paul Wood.
