About me

I am a writer on a mission, and that mission is adventure. Once a little girl who wanted to do anything and everything, I soon discovered that the only way to achieve my lofty goal was through the written word. So far, I've managed to become a knife fighter, a rodeo bull, a black belt, a subway rat, and perhaps most elusive, a moderate republican, just to name a few. But the possibilities are vast and the checklist ever growing, which keeps this make-believe jack-of-all-trades cranking out story.

My most recent credits include writer for E! Entertainment's "The Arrangement", Creator/writer/director of "Peaked in High School", and writer's assistant for "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders" on CBS. I hold an MFA in dramatic writing from NYU Tisch School of the Arts as well as a B.A. in theatre arts from Oberlin College. I have won the Jane Chambers Student Playwriting Award as well as the Flint Film Festival’s Best Screenplay Award, and I was a finalist in the Austin Film Festival’s AMC one-hour pilot division. My original play, “Ronnie’s Cabinet” was produced in New York City, receiving the Thespis Theatre Festival’s Best Original Play Award, and “Bottles on the Water, A Night of Short Plays from Abroad”, co-written by Briggs, received its off-off Broadway premiere and is available in paperback.
