I am a creative writer from New York City, where I began my professional foray into writing in the theater and performance art community. Today I am a seasoned playwright and award-winning screenwriter. Though I have a tendency for the stage and screen, I am a creative writer first and foremost. I have written children's stories for learn-to-read platforms, performed art criticism, financial blogging, and more. No matter what the topic, I use my creativity to infuse any medium and engage readers.

Hey there! Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my profile. Me? I'm a New York-based comedian and copywriter specializing in humorous, clickable, sharable words. My real specialty is character-driven video ad campaigns, but I also write landing pages, ad copy, brand guidelines, and just about anything else that needs a fun, kind, natural voice. I'd be delighted to help you fix up an existing script, punch up your next ad campaign, or suggest jokes for just about anything. I've worked with a number of major brands, and would be glad to share my resumé and relevant work samples as needed. Want your brand to sound a little more human? Well, I might just be your gal.
