About

I am a Vietnamese-Irish-American playwright, screenwriter and actor based between New York City and Dublin, Ireland.

Most recently, I was awarded the 2025 Irish Arts Council Theatre Project Award to develop my new play The Chalice, which premiered at the 2025 Dublin Fringe Festival and was nominated for the Solas Nua New Writing Award. The Chalice was supported by Dublin Fringe Festival’s Weft Studio, Smock Alley Theatre, the Irish Theatre Institute and Dublinia.

My play DADDY ISSUES was workshopped and presented as a rehearsed reading at Smock Alley Theatre. DADDY ISSUES was funded by the 2024 Irish Arts Council Theatre Project Award and supported by Dublin Fringe Festival, Irish Theatre Institute and Smock Alley Theatre.

I am also the recipient of the 2022 Virgin Media Discovers Award as co-writer and co-producer of the short film Good Chips. Good Chips aired nationwide and went on to win several awards, including Best Short Film at the 2023 Viet Film Festival and received the Writers Guild of Ireland’s Zebbie Award for Best Short Script.

Good Chips received development funding from Screen Ireland to expand the script to feature length – for which we were awarded a spot on the CAPE x Black List for exceptional scripts featuring Asian characters.

I was also a playwright selected for The Abbey, Ireland’s National Theatre, 2025 Box of Tricks initiative. I am an alumni of Weft Studio, an initiative of Dublin Fringe Festival and was also selected for MAKE, an artist development programme and residency initiative of Cork Midsummer Festival, Dublin Fringe Festival, Project Arts Centre and Performing Arts Forum.

Next up, I will write and star in the short film Michan supported by Screen Ireland’s Actor as Creator scheme.

Also an actor, some of the projects I have appeared in are 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank starring Liam Neeson, Finnegan’s Foursome directed by Ed Burns, Amazon’s Silver: Book of Dreams, Disney’s Disenchanted, HBO’s Avenue 5, As Luck Would Have It (Hallmark), Smother (RTE/BBC Studios), and Can’t Cope Won’t Cope (RTE/Deadpan Pictures). I am also the voice of “Segiri” in Nintendo’s award-winning video game Xenoblade Chronicles 3, “Starla” in RTE Junior series The Scavengers and “Kallista” in Cartoon Network/Warner Bros’ upcoming series Goat Girl.

I am currently filming Season 2 of FX’s comedy series Going Dutch starring Denis Leary.

I hold a Master’s degree in Public History and Cultural Heritage from Trinity College and a B.A. in History from UCLA.

I am represented by Nolan Muldoon Agency and Voicebank Dublin.
