I was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, and left home at 16 to study acting and writing at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. I began my career on Broadway in the Tony-nominated revival of Talk Radio with Liev Schreiber while I was a Junior at Fordham University, and went on to receive my MFA in playwriting from UCLA.
I've received a number of awards for my work, including The Playwrights First Award, the Fred Forpes Fellowship at UCLA and a Daytime Emmy Nomination for my series EastSiders. My plays have been produced Off-broadway at Theatre Row, at the National MFA Playwriting Festival in Aspen, CO, and at UCLA, Fordham University and The University of Iowa.
I also run a boutique branded content production company with my husband that specializes in the LGBT market. You can read more about that below.
