Having written plays since the age of fifteen and narrative fiction since the age of five, Maggie has cultivated a passion for writing across many genres and styles. Her works explore themes of desire, liberation, catharsis, and inner conflict, often employing absurdist dialogue or surrealism, encouraging audiences to take only what they need from a piece.
Maggie has been trained in playwriting by Anusree Roy and David Yee, through the University of Toronto.
