For bio purposes, please forgive that I talk about myself in the third person, so I can brag. Otherwise, I’ll say something like I’m a mom, and I like potato chips (which I am and do).

Mandy grew up in a tiny no-stoplight town in Texas, and at the age of 16 moved to Austin and became the youngest member of a professional sketch comedy troupe, before attending Vassar College to major in film. (What? I know. Her parents thought that too.)

Since then, Mandy has co-created and directed The Young Hillary Diaries, Lifetime's first digital series, and the Amazon Emmy-winning digital series Dropping the Soap, starring Jane Lynch. She was selected as a Sony Pictures Television Directing Fellow, named “Best New Filmmaker” by NewFilmmakers LA, and her debut feature “Jess Plus None” was hailed as a laugh-out-loud LGBTQ+ “Big Chill meets Bridesmaids”, premiering at the BFI Flare Festival in London, and is available to stream on Amazon, Apple, Hoopla & Tubi.

Currently, Mandy lives in London with her husband, actor Patrick Fabian, her two daughters, and an intimidating collection of reusable water bottles.  She was recently commissioned by Objective Fiction to develop a comedy series for the UK, and is in post-production on her next feature, “WHITE”, a modern day adaptation of the Snow White fairytale.

She hopes you enjoy pictures of her wearing makeup for maybe the only time ever.
