A Philly native and arts enthusiast, I fell in love with filmmaking in high school and haven’t turned back since. I briefly attended the University of Miami and wrapped my schooling up at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, finishing with a BFA in Filmmaking - concentration in Cinematography. During my graduation from UNCSA, the thought did cross my mind that I should have gone to law school.
Bizarro-world Lawyer Kat (let’s call her “Kate”) is laughing somewhere eating lobster and drinking fine wines. Kate is probably not too happy with her choices, though… fantasizing about the artistic life she could have led while closing escrow on her second vacation home. I’m sure that’s what’s happening.
I create stories that will make you laugh, maybe even cry, and hopefully look within. I have the mind of a comedy writer, yet love sinking my teeth into dramas when I’ve got a killer idea. This website is a place for you, visitor, to be a part of the ride.
And when I’m not writing, you can find me crying over my unused System of a Down concert tickets.
