I’ve spent the last five years working in the television industry. I started as a writers’ assistant on notable series like Netflix’s Soundtrack and AMC’s Kevin Can F***K Himself. More recently, I worked as a Story Editor on HBO Max's reboot of Gossip Girl, contributing to writing, on-set production, and post-production processes. Alongside my TV career, I've also worked in editorial writing, tutoring, book writing, feature writing, and script doctoring. I graduated from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Studies in 2016, where I focused on cinema studies, literary theory, and screenwriting. Currently, I am developing two different series, have completed a feature script, and continue freelance entertainment journalism work while mentoring students through the Hopkins School mentoring program.
