My Official Pretentious Bio
I wrote the hit movie A Cinderella Story starring Hilary Duff, a film that spawned a successful Warner Brothers franchise of five movies. I also wrote Spy Girls, based on the popular teen book series, for producer Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting) and Camp Rockaway for Sony Pictures and producers Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher (Gladiator, Stuart Little). My film, 16-Love was Time Warner Digital’s top release of 2012. The Standoff, with Olivia Holt (Cruel Summer) and Alex Wolff (Jumanji, Inheritance, Pig), which I wrote and co-produced, was released on Netflix. I attended the film writing program at the USC School of Cinema-Television and have also written a novel - Bless Your Heart - about money, motherhood and murder - coming on August 12, 2025 from Crooked Lane Books. I'm also fairly good at Wordle and Spelling Bee.
