Growing up, Brittany was a triple threat (braces/glasses/queen of band camp). Whether she’s interviewing murderers for a podcast or doing puppet improv, Brittany marches to the beat of her own drum, putting a positive spin on the pain of living.

A recent USC School of Cinematic Arts MFA Screenwriting grad, she is also the co-producer and co-host of Jury Duty: The Trial of Robert Durst.

Her comedy pilot Camp Yes was a 2022 ScreenCraft Fellowship Quarterfinalist. Her feature Nellie Bly Takes on the World was a Top 5 Finalist in Final Draft’s 2021 Big Break Screenwriting Competition and a Top 50 Semi-Finalist in the 2021 Launch Pad Feature Competition.
