I had ALWAYS written stories and I had ALWAYS watched too much telly. I knew in my heart the two would come together but growing up in a working class area of South London, where anyone with any aptitude was pushed into banking, it took me DECADES to believe that I could.

​

As a professional screenwriter, I cut my teeth on two of the most demanding shows in the UK: EastEnders and Casualty proving myself to be resilient, reliable and good to work with.

​

I’ve always written with heart, humour and hope. My work usually digs into genuine emotions, often exploring themes of grief and identity: people who for whatever reason can’t be their true selves. I like to mine close family dynamics, particularly between dysfunctional siblings and even my most dramatic and serious scripts still have a twinkle and a wit.
