About Me

I'm a writer, a comic, and a girl.

These days I work mostly as a TV writer, and work the road in between.
So far this year, I was a writer and producer on a pilot with E development and 'The Soup" for the VS network called, SPORT'S SOUP. I also co-wrote all 4 episodes of "Match Mistress" on E!. The one with the dominatrix with the massive cleavage, dressed in latex, and the crop. Yes that one.
Since 2002 I have written for over a dozen shows and all that info is on my website, I hope. It's being updated for the first time since 2006.
I am also a regular performer on PRETTY FUNNY WOMEN, the longest running all female show in the WORLD! There is nothing more fun than doing shows with all these nutty bitches.

My Interests

The Muppets, concerts, crosswords, the beach, poker, red wine, unemployment checks, and reading scripts where the central character finds a big bag of money and isn't sure if he should spend it or turn it in to the police. MyGen Profile Generator
