Career Wauchope began her writing career when she was 29 when she and her writing partner Rachel Specter were hired to the staff of One Tree Hill. In 2017, after the show had ended, spurred on by the Me Too Movement and accusations of sexual harassment committed by fellow The CW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, Wauchope tweeted a thread about sexual harassment and misconduct she and Specter experienced on their first writing job. While she did not name him or the show in the thread, it was confirmed that she was referring to the creator and showrunner of One Tree Hill, Mark Schwann.

Wauchope took to Twitter to salute Specter's contributions to the episode.

Personal life Wauchope married Warren Lieberstein in 2016 and has two daughters with him. . Prior to this, she was in a relationship with Ravi Patel, notable as a central part of the documentary Meet the Patels.
