About Me
I'm a writer-director based in Los Angeles. Two years out of USC's School of Cinematic Arts, I sold my first show — Boo, Bitch — to Netflix, where it premiered in the Top 5 and has since been named one of the ten best comedy miniseries of all time by Collider.
​
Most recently, I co-wrote and solo-directed The Hive for Amazon's Audible — a thriller starring Tony Hale, Samira Wiley, Margo Martindale, Brandon Routh, and Taylor Dearden. The show peaked at #3 on Audible's Most-Listened charts and #2 in Mystery & Thriller, charting for over 55 days.

The Hive
In the electrifying new series The Hive: A Thriller, CIA cyber-ops officer Samantha Sloane stumbles onto a mystery that leads straight into her own forgotten past. Her search for answers draws her into the orbit of Eli Cooper, the elusive CEO of a billion-dollar cybersecurity firm and his group of elite hackers who make up The Hive. But the more Sam learns about Eli and his company, the more she realizes she can't trust anyone around her.
​
Starring Tony Hale, Taylor Dearden, Brandon Routh, Samira Wiley, and Margo Martindale, the series follows Sam as she’s trapped between the agency that raised her and the rogue survivors it left behind.
Executive Produced by Tony Hale, the Hive is a gripping story of psychological warfare, digital espionage, and what it means to own your past.

Directing
I chose these three because I made them on a very limited budget (under $500) and on a tight timeframe (under 48 hours).
