Yes, it’s pronounced hymen. I didn’t choose it—it chose me. 

I’m a screenwriter, copywriter, and former TV showrunner’s assistant with a specialty in comedy, satire, and characters who unravel in increasingly creative ways (I'm not projecting, you are). Also my writing skills are stronger than my website design skills, I swear. 

For the brand folks who just want the receipts: I do the commercial side too. Ad copy, content ideation, creative strategy. If that’s what you’re here for, hop to my Copywriting Page →. If you want the origin story with all the mess and jokes, keep scrolling.

While I may be just another screenwriter in an LA coffee shop longing to be discovered, I don’t wait for it, I work for it. 

I worked my way up from unpaid intern to paid intern to underpaid talent agency assistant and so forth. I’ve worked on Emmy-winning shows like CONAN (Warner Bros.), VEEP (Paramount), INSECURE and SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS (HBO Max). Most recently, I was a showrunner’s assistant on GIRLS ON THE BUS and MORE (HBO Max). I'm also a published author of an internationally acquired / distributed children's book, DUCK THE DOG (Ginger Fyre Press). I wrote it during the pandemic about my dog, Duck, embracing an identity crisis. It may be textbook Freud, but it sold. These days, I'm a senior contributing writer and lead content ideation specialist for TROORA MAGAZINE, a digital + print publication focused on spotlighting diverse and creative content from underrepresented communities.

Growing up in Georgia, I was the neurotic lone Jew of the South. Now, I’m just another neurotic Jew in Hollywood. I’m queer, but honestly—who isn’t? I was born with Tourette’s syndrome, where I struggle with keeping my thoughts to myself and not offending people. It mixes well with ADD and OCD and general anxiety. My whole generation is depressed. I'm not special. I'm just vocal. And feel strongly about mental health representation in television. Where are the neurodivergent storylines? Gimme that nitty-gritty, authentic messiness. Truth be told, I’ve been shamelessly exploiting my dysfunctional family for years, stockpiling material, curating chaos. Every poor decision, I do it for the plot. It's called "character arc."

I’m a creative writer to my core, and my core is a mix of ambition and chocolate. I’m a house-cat couch potato with a serious addiction to quality television. Emphasis on the quality. Looking at you, reality television. Nobody wants you.

Back to me. If you're looking for strong copy, I'm an award‑winning writer whose words have been featured in magazines, national ads, and billboards. Whether it be a writers room for television or a contract role for copywriting, my storytelling skills transcend industries and even time. Okay, maybe not time, but that'd be cool. 

Anyway, enjoy the website and write on.
