Hi! My name is Anja.

The Norwegian 'j' is said like a 'y' which is important to tell people because they really care.

I was born and raised in Mill Valley, CA. Home of the acclaimed Mill Valley Film Festival. Also lycra.

I majored in English at UCLA where I competed on the Women's Varsity Rowing Team. “Erg test” = PTSD.

I write Apatowian comedy, addressing life’s cringiest coming-of-age milestones with nuance and empathy.

Favorite screenwriters: John Hughes, Gary Ross, John Hamburg, April Prosser, Melissa Stack, Katie Silberman and Kelly Fremon-Craig.

Storytelling is my love language.
