About

Screenwriter and production creative with an MFA in Writing and 10+ years of experience across film, television, and digital media. I blend strong narrative craft with audience-building experience and industry partnerships, working end-to-end from script to screen.

I’ve written features, TV pilots, short-form narrative, and branded content, and I also develop original digital media and story experiences for gaming/VR. My background includes directing, editing, and producing, along with proven community growth through long- and short-form content.
