At 7 years old, I was cranking out play scripts like I had a boss to impress. The boss? My parents, who wholeheartedly watched me perform my one-woman shows in the living room.

When I was 9, I wrote my first breakup song. Not sure who I was breaking up with, but I had braces and a lisp, so it definitely wasn’t a boy.

Then, there was the great epiphany of 2019. My dad took me to a showing of the British Arrow Awards, and I realized I could make money telling stories and making ads. Who knew?

I won’t pretend I’m the best writer you’ve ever met. Or second best. Or third.

But I’m curious, passionate, and I have a fervor for the mundane (my friends call me Couch, after all).

On the opposite side of that, I love adventure and storytelling, and I’ve been lucky to learn from people who are different than me. Some of my best memories are with people who didn’t speak a lick of English.

TBD.
