Writer.

I have been a writer for 5 years! Given that I started off my career working for a Senator, a Mayor, and being an executive at a non-profit, most of my writings are about the comedy that can be found in normal workplace environments.

Writing Samples

My pilot, Wildest Dreams (Half-Hour Dramedy) , follows the journey of Amara, an indecisive, conflict-averse and recently engaged millennial. She lands a once in a lifetime opportunity, but the only thing getting in her way is life itself.

My second pilot, Blackjack (Half-Hour Dramedy), is based an a award-winning short film I wrote. Here’s the logline: After marrying the city’s most powerful billionaire, her boss, Nicole Tesi is forced out of the company by the board. With the help of her scheming coworkers, she enters a ruthless fight for control, where sabotage might just be on the menu.

I have submitted these pilots to screenwriter programs and have received these awards:

• Disney Entertainment Television Writing Program Semi-Finalist for the Class of 2026

• Black Boy Writes & Black Girl Writes Mentorship Initiative Quarterfinalist for the Class of 2026

I also have an Abbott Elementary spec script titled “School Play,” which focuses on Janine’s journey to put on a school production, while Barbara teaches Gregory how to sew.

Audio Podcasts

I am currently working for Pocket FM as a Head Writer. The audio podcast I wrote, The Undercover Billionaire, can be listened to on the Pocket FM App! It has over 2 million plays and counting.

Web Series

I worked in the writer’s room for the web series, Homegirls Season 2, which finished filming in February! I wrote episodes 2 and 5. I also supported production as a writer on set.

Short Films

My short film Blackjack is a horror comedy centering on Nicole Tesi, who has a hard time choosing between her romantic partner and her work besties. I wrote this film and I also played the character, Nicole Tesi. This short won the Audience Choice award out of 78 films at the Los Angeles 48 Hour Horror Comedy Film Festival.

I have also written 2 other short films, Angela’s Tale and Spy Her Man. Angela’s Tale won Best Regional Short at the Gary International Black Film Festival and Spy Her Man was a project I completed for the Los Angeles 48 Hour Film Festival.

This year, I wrote the short Out Of Time for the Collaboration Filmmakers Challenge and won Semi-Finalist.
