A 9:00 p.m. curfew. Shoes off in the house. Strict uniforms at a Catholic all-girls school. Kelsey’s childhood was filled with rules. Luckily, she also had rule-breaking women to look up to: a quirky drama director, a matriarchal grandmother, and an ex-nun who sipped vodka from a gutted orange. These mavericks inspired Kelsey to trade her Northeast puffer jacket for a one-way ticket to Los Angeles.

Kelsey loves setting stories about bold women and cross-generational relationships in riveting worlds. Her work has been recognized by Coverfly in the Top 1% of projects, Final Draft Big Break, Austin Film Festival, ATX TV Pitch Competition, and more.

Kelsey is the Showrunner’s Assistant on HBO’s DUNE: PROPHECY, and recently worked as the Showrunner’s Assistant on GLEN MAZZARA’S UNTITLED MERCENARY SERIES at Netflix. Before that, she consulted for the FDA and U.S. Department of Labor after graduating summa cum laude from William & Mary with a B.A. in English Literature as an Honors Fellow in the English Honors Program.
