Playwrighting

I was selected to participate in The Street Theatre’s Early Phase 2020 program to develop my work Baby Dyke. In 2021 I received ArtsACT funding to move this project into the next phase of development.

I was awarded the Canberra Youth Teatre’s Emerging Playwright Commission to produce a new play, You Can’t Tell Anyone in 2022. This was produced by the theatre in 2023, and won multiple awards.

In 2024, I have been commissioned by The Q Theatre to write Life Boat, a play about dementia.

Screen Writing

In 2019 I was selected to participate in WIFT’s MentorHer program. In 2020 I was selected for the Chips & Gravy MentorChip to develop my television rom-com, How To Date Men When You Hate Men.

In 2020 I co-wrote the web series Whirld which was nominated for Best Series at the Sydney Web Fest and won Best Series at Paris Play Fest.

In 2021, I started writing Blonde Philosophy, a sketch series for YouTube which uses character comedy to explore philosophical concepts.
