Helene searches out history-adjacent stories, harnesses their narrative power, and reimagines events through the POV of female protagonists with hybrid genres ranging from comedy to grounded sci-fi. Helene is a TV junkie, and as a child who wrestled with anxiety and undiagnosed ADHD and Central Processing Disorder, she found comfort in predicting the endings of shows and went as far as crafting her own alternate endings. This early love for storytelling cemented her passion for television, setting the stage for her future in screenwriting. After studying in New York at UCB, Atlantic Theater and LAByrinth Theater Company, Helene worked in the film industry above and below the line for fifteen years. She returned to the Pacific Northwest following the deaths of her parents to cancer. Inspired by their unrealized dreams, she dedicated herself to screenwriting, channelling her unique voice and insights into creating her own projects. She honed her craft at Canada’s Pacific Screenwriting Program Scripted Series Lab, where she collaborated in a writers' room with showrunner Michael MacLennan (Queer as Folk) and mentor Simon Barry (Warrior Nun). She is also a recipient of Canada’s Bell Fund and Creative BC funding in partnership with Elevation Pictures, to develop three television projects: "Weyburn," "Queen of Trash," and "Chronicles of a Radioactive Girl Scout." She aims to push creative boundaries and never play it safe in her storytelling.
