She has developed sitcoms with Fudge Park and Big Deal Films, and written sketches for CRACKERJACK, LENNY HENRY, BBC3's COMEDY QUICKIES (for which she won two Writer's Guild Awards for Best Online Comedy) and HORRIBLE HISTORIES, among others. In 2020 she was selected as one of the Edinburgh Television Festival's "Ones To Watch" and in 2021 she was one of the in-house writers at BBC radio comedy.
