About Me.

My storytelling is inspired by the chaos of growing up in my family’s Italian restaurant in Jersey, my love of myths, mysteries, magical realism and science, my background in education and my desire to bring to light the lives of extraordinary people who you most likely never heard of.  I'm the winner of the Jane Chambers Award and the Stanley Drama Award for my play The Magician’s Sister, and my play BLISS (or Emily Post is Dead!) was named on The Kilroys List and was a LA Times Critics’ Choice. My work has been produced/developed at New Dramatists, NY Theatre Workshop, Women’s Voices Theater Festival, Center Theatre Group, among other venues.  I've also developed TV projects for Fish Ladder and Jonathan Steinberg and Dan Shotz, and I was a finalist for the Disney/ABC Writing Program.
​
I'm a proud member of The Playwrights Union, The Dramatists Guild, and The Independent Writers' Caucus where I'm also developing film and TV projects. I've taught dramatic writing at Lesley University, Emerson College and California Lutheran University, among other institutions. I also co-created Moving Arts' MADlab new play development program.
