Here are some synopses of my work! While my current focus is playwriting, I've also dabbled in other modes of writing. Those titles are below. Enjoy!

"The act of writing is the act of making soul, alchemy..... a woman who writes has power. And a woman with power is feared.”​
- Gloria Anzaldúa
When Mari’s boyfriend, Nick, brings her home one week before his parents’ big anniversary party, she expects a quiet dinner and a few board games, not a sprawling Southern estate (complete with a butler, of course).

A full-length play
When five young women try to enjoy the season finale of their favorite fantasy romance show, their watch party is derailed when their onscreen crush appears to them in the flesh. The kicker?
