So thrilled WONDER DRUG got a shoutout in Yahoo Entertainment. I originated it at the HamptonsFilm Screenwriters Lab as a Sloan script. It later became a Black List Featured Script and an Academy Nicholl Top 10 Female Writer script.

Now Lori Singer is on board as co-writer and director. LFG!

Feb 14, 2020: best Valentine’s gift -- @theacademyusa.bsky.social invited me to WGFestival because WONDER DRUG was Top 10 Female Writer in the 2019 Academy Nicholl comp.

Then Covid canceled it.

I’m now working with Lori Singer to bring WONDER DRUG to the screen. Stay tuned for updates!

Looking back, 2025 was unforgettable for my career.

Robert Redford didn’t just talk about change — he lived it. Through his work, his activism, and his mission in life, he leaves behind a legacy that inspires. I’m profoundly grateful to have been touched by it as a Sundance Institute Cultural Impact Fellow. RIP. cc: @sundance.org
