Mona Hersi is a layered writer-producer-actor-sketch comedian. She draws on her intersectional experiences of being a first generation Somali Canadian born and bred in Toronto to fuel her writing. She is an alumna of the Canadian Film Centre’s Bell Media

Prime Time TV Program’s inaugural comedy cohort. Her recent credits include writing for comedy series Abroad (OMNI TV), The Next Step (CBBC), and is ¼ of the darling sketch troupe the Don Valley Girls (IPF/CMF development for series). As a producer, Mona recently received funding for two scripted comedy shows she has in development from Ontario Creates, IPF, CMF and Bell Development Slate Fund.

Socially inept and ambitious OB-GYN resident Dr Sofia Harris must work on her emotional intelligence with patients or risk losing her residency, all while dealing with her own gynecological issues.
