As a director and screenwriter, I’ve devoted my creative life to mastering the tapestry of skills required to transform ideas into cinematic, emotional experience. I knew at a young age that I wanted to make movies and with the help of a team of extraordinary colleagues, I achieved that goal.

LILLY, starring Patricia Clarkson, John Benjamin Hickey and Thomas Sadoski won BEST of the FEST at the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival, enjoyed a successful theatrical run in 90 cities and is now available on V.O.D. Watch the trailer HERE.

A seasoned television director, my most recent 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 incredibly grateful to Steven Bochco and David E. Kelley for my first directing gigs on “Doogie Howser” and “Picket Fences.”

As a screenwriter, my pilot KINKS won ScreenCraft Best Pilot, WGA Best Spec Pilot and WGA Drama Queens. Other screenplays have been produced by Lifetime Television and optioned by Double Nickel Entertainment, Marc Platt Productions, Mark Canton, Lakeshore Entertainment, eOne and ABCFamily. I’m currently developing both features and series.

I graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, Parsons School of Design and NYU Grad Film, where my thesis film won awards and garnered grants. My first studio jobs were as the storyboard artist for well-known directors. But my real beginnings were as a professional child actor; the credit everyone likes best is that I was the voice of Lucy in Peanuts animation.

From the Bronx, I’m forever linked to a New York state of mind, despite living in Los Angeles 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.
