As a disabled neurodiverse woman who was, for quite a while, homeless, Steph brings a unique perspective to her writing and has a passion for authentic storytelling. Her work tackles social inequalities and some uncomfortable topics with lightness and humour that allow audiences into hard-hitting conversations without them seeming so frightening. Steph was a contributing writer on the 2023 BBC series PHOENIX PARK, and is currently developing an original series with 5 Acts and ITV. Her previous writing commissions include: WE CARE for Hot Coals Productions, CINDER-CHUFFIN-RELLA and TO SLEEP for 53two Theatre and she has worked as a script consultant for Netflix hit, SEX EDUCATION. Steph has recently finished her PhD with a thesis that explores how mothers experience homelessness and the impact homelessness has on their children’s education. Much like her writing, Steph puts the narratives and emotions of the women she spoke to at the front and centre of the research. Steph is currently on the BBC Writer’s Access Scheme.
