About

I’m a creative writer with a BA in English Literature and International Development from McGill University. I specialize in scriptwriting, theatre production, poetry, and advocacy storytelling, shaping character arcs, dialogue, and atmosphere across film, stage, and narrative-driven games. I’m passionate about storytelling that centers lived experiences and equity, and I enjoy translating complex ideas into accessible cutscenes, dialogue, and cinematic narrative design.

I’ve collaborated across productions, campaigns, and DEI-focused communications, building inclusive voices through theatre, poetry, and educational programming, while developing materials that engage diverse audiences and stakeholders.
