Roma Murphy

Roma (she/her) 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 often explores that through comedy in her work. Since graduating into the pandemic with a screenwriting BFA, she's participated in fellowships like the Disruptors Fellowship, Hillman Grad Mentorship Lab, and Respectability's Summer Entertainment Lab, as well as working in children's cartoons, most recently as an Associate Writer at Disney.
