Who is
she?

Roma has always wanted to make the world a better place, but as a comedy writer, she suspects she’ll probably make it worse. Years of existence as a quadruple-pronged diversity hire have left her fascinated by how systems of oppression leave marginalized people so desperate to prove themselves that they miss out on forming real connections with others, and she often explores that through comedy in her work (and tragedy in her personal life). She loves to find comedic ways into familiar genre premises, either through straight up parody or subtler satire.

 

Roma has participated in the Disruptors Fellowship, the Hillman Grad Mentorship Lab, the Disability Belongs Summer Entertainment Lab, and the Inevitable Collective. She has worked primarily in shortform digital content and animated television for preschool, 6-11, and YA audiences, at companies like Sony, Dreamworks, and Disney. When she’s not writing, she can be found practicing her stand-up comedy sets on her cat.
