I’m the showrunner for “Jealous,” a drama in contention at Amazon. I co-created it with Cat Grieve and it’s based on her life experience. Maddie Ziegler’s attached to star.

Over the past decade, I’ve written for several shows including the first two seasons of “Girls” and the final season of "The Newsroom.” I’ve also developed pilots for Netflix, ABC and Apple. Before it died in the recent WGA strike, I was showrunning “First Born,” a drama for Starz, with director Sarah Adina Smith.

I started my career as the assistant to  the late, great Peter Kaplan, the Editor in Chief of The New York Observer, where I wrote perhaps my most emailed story. It was about Googling guys before I went on dates with them. The New York Times Magazine's "On Language" column gave me credit for coining the verb "To Google."

Then I worked as a Contributing Editor at New York magazine and a reporter for The New York Times Style section, covering mostly society, trends and real estate. My first Hollywood gig was as a Staff Writer on Season 3 of the CW’s remake of “90210.”

I’m from New York and live in Los Angeles with my two children and husband, Josh Groban—not the one you’re thinking of.
