Hi, I'm Jorja.
Your whole life has led you to this moment where you've found my page.
Or, I don't know, maybe I sent you a link.
I'm an award-winning comedy writer with access to Final Draft and a deep well of existential stories to mine from. I've been a storyteller for as long as I can remember, and I can remember very far back. Making people laugh at the hardships of life is my reason for existing, and the fact I’m a Capricorn means my lack of work-life balance will serve in your favor. I love using satire to discuss difficult topics such as mental health, heartbreak, the state of our current society, and other equally lighthearted stuff. I took the Transatlantic path west (London > New York > LA) in my lifelong pursuit of your validation vegan donuts.
