Ali is a versatile creator who moves easily between comedy and drama, and film and television. She’s dreamed of screenwriting since she was 13 and wrote her first script. She now writes for the Emmy-winning series The Morning Show (Apple TV+), and serves as an on-set producer. Previously, she was a Field Producer for The Daily Show spinoff The Opposition w/ Jordan Klepper (Comedy Central).

As an actor, Ali performed at the UCB Theater in NY and LA. She stars in the largely improvised feature film THE END OF US, which premiered at SXSW. She’s written, directed, produced, edited, and starred in dozens of short films and viral videos, both independently and for BuzzFeed Motion Pictures and Glamour Magazine, which have earned Vimeo Staff Picks and have played in festivals worldwide. Her extensive video work has garnered nearly 1 billion views online and has gone viral in virtually every space, from being featured on the front page of Reddit to playing on NBC’s Today Show.

Beyond her TV career, Ali is a world traveler who’s lived on five continents, a journalist with bylines at Vulture, BuzzFeed, and more, a Copywriter who’s worked with brands like Twitter & Budweiser, the author of the bestselling Substack newsletter Little Things, and the owner & operator of In Flow Writing Center, through which she hosts retreats around the world.
