I’m a screenwriter passionate about exploring identity, family, and personal growth. My stories focus on flawed but relatable characters navigating emotional challenges, with themes often inspired by my own experiences.
In Football Fairy, I bring together two contrasting worlds—football and Irish dance—to explore masculinity, self-discovery, and acceptance. I aim to create moments of unspoken emotion where a glance or pause says more than words.
I write with a focus on authenticity and visual storytelling, balancing emotional depth with humor and energy. My goal is to craft stories that resonate with audiences through relatable characters and universal themes.
