Sophie is a genre TV writer who uses comedy to tell the stories of outsiders struggling with the power structure in their worlds. Having already been highlighted by The Tracking Board as an emerging writer on the rise, Sophie then proved her chops by being the writers' assistant on THE CLEANING LADY and recently got to co-write an episode.
