I have nearly 6 years of professional comedy writing experience, mostly spent at The Onion. At The Onion you're expected to be a joke machine. Through the process of constantly pitching jokes, new content types, and video concepts nearly every day during that period, I have grown into a writer who can think creatively on command and find new angles to almost any topic thrown my way. Writing for The Onion also forced me to learn a little bit about everything. As a satirical newspaper, I could be asked to write or joke about any topic, and success therefore depended on quickly learning and synthesizing information on a given subject area in order to maximize the comedic value. As I continue to pursue comedy jobs in Los Angeles I'm open and excited to contribute to any project that may require a copywriter, scriptwriter, or just someone to help brainstorm or concept.Final Draft

I tell stories. Whether it's screenplays, short stories, novellas, novels, about us pages, blog articles, landing pages, product descriptions - you name it, I've attracted attention to it. "But wait," you say to yourself. "What do short stories and screenplays have to do with blog articles and copywriting?" A lot. They tell stories in different ways, with different voices and different styles, but all writing is storytelling. The need is the same whether you're telling a story to enlighten, entertain, or sell. I've written over 20 screenplays, placing in prestigious contests like the Nicholl Fellowship. I’ve had work optioned, and I’ve pitched to networks like History Channel. I'm also a published science fiction author who attended the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers' Workshop in 2019.
