After directing dramatic television for 30 years, I’m honored that LILLY, the first theatrical feature film I wrote and directed, was chosen by Variety as one of the “BEST OVERLOOKED FILMS OF 2025” and “MOST LIKED” movie streaming on NETFLIX. Starring Oscar nominated actor Patricia Clarkson, John Benjamin Hickey and Thomas Sadoski, Molly Haskell calls LILLY, “One magnificent movie.”

My most recent television directing credits are the pilot and first season of the Netflix series “The Baxters,” and multiple episodes of “Blue Bloods,” “The Rookie,” and “Criminal Minds.” I’m indebted to producers Steven Bochco and David E. Kelley for giving me early career breaks on “Doogie Howser” and “Picket Fences.”

Currently in development with features and series, my projects are always female-forward, challenging the status quo. Screenplays have been produced by Lifetime, optioned by Double Nickel Entertainment, Marc Platt Productions, Mark Canton, Lakeshore Entertainment, eOne and ABCFamily. KINKS, my pilot about a sex therapist working with the FBI to entrap a serial criminal, won ScreenCraft’s Best Pilot, WGA Best Spec Pilot, Breaking Through the Lens and CannesSeries.

My first studio jobs were as the storyboard artist for well-known directors. My earliest professional experiences were as a child actor, where I fell in love with being on set, creating “make-believe” worlds. My degrees are from Sarah Lawrence College, Parsons School of Design and NYU Grad Film.

I’ve devoted my creative life to mastering the tapestry of skills required to transform ideas into cinematic, emotional experience. From the Bronx, I’m forged with a New York state of mind, despite having lived in L.A. for more than half my life. The third child and only girl born to first generation Americans, my perspective is imbued with a birthright sensitivity to societal hierarchies that’s led to a fascination with justice. I believe in the power of story to affect culture.
