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

I’m a screenwriter, columnist, and former showrunner’s assistant with a specialty in adult comedy, inappropriate 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. 

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's the neuro-spicy representation? Gimme that nitty-gritty. That authentic messiness. Truth be told, I’ve been shamelessly exploiting my dysfunctional family for years, stockpiling material, curating chaos. Myself included. Every poor decision, I do it for the plot. It's called "character arc." Basically method acting for writers. 

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). These days, I'm also 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.

A little about me. 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. I'm an award‑winning comedy writer, casually exploiting my friends and family for content. I'm also an acclaimed copywriter whose words have been featured on ads and billboards across the U.S. Lastly, I'm an internationally published author who wrote a children’s book during the pandemic about my dog, Duck, and her (totally unrelated) identity crisis. We’re both working through some things. It may be textbook Freud, but it sold. 

Anyway, enjoy the website.
