I am deeply passionate about creative endeavors that have the potential to positively impact the world, which is why I chose to pursue a degree in the business of film and television at DePaul University. With a concentration in directing, though it is my primary focus, I often find myself immersed in screenwriting, producing, and acting. Currently, I am directing and producing social media content for HS Dent LLC, as well as spearheading a Western animation project while continually refining my storytelling skills through writing. My true specialty lies in communicating a vision and creating a visceral connection for the audience. If you have any projects aligned with my expertise, I'm eager to collaborate and bring stories to life.

Top Skills: PROOFREADING/EDITING (essays, manuscripts, online content, etc.) SCREENPLAY/SCRIPT EDITING (TV scripts, feature screenplays, and shorts) COPYEDITING (articles, blog posts, marketing material, etc.) My excellent writing skills and grasp of language arts stem from my undergraduate education in an honors program where I studied humanities and literature. Earning all A's in law school writing classes, drafting hundreds of legal documents, and writing award-winning teleplays and feature-length screenplays have caused my sharp grammar skills to become second nature. I have an eagle eye for proofreading and editing and am familiar with several word processing programs and marketing funnels, including Word, Google Docs, Final Draft, Fade In, Stripo, Buffer, and Pagefly. I'm happy to provide deliverables that either show or don't show my revisions; my clients can choose one way or receive both! I have written and edited two novels--the first two volumes in THE TEDDY BEAR CHRONICLES crime thriller series for adults. I am comfortable with proofreading/editing both short and lengthy written materials. Furthermore, I am a former English tutor... I have four years of experience teaching students of all ages excellent grammar and proofreading skills. They all substantially improved their grades while working with me. It was a wonderful experience to see them succeed. Lastly, I proofread and edited my scripts, which have earned high praise (winner, finalist, nominee, and semi-finalist) in several film festivals and contests between 2019 and 2023, including Underground Indie Film Festival, Burbank International FF, Big Apple, HollyShorts, Flicker's Rhode Island, Hollywood Horrorfest, and Fade In Awards. I'd love to help you make your writing work shine!

Award winning screenwriter. My greatest success was the movie "We Need to Talk About Kevin" which opened the Cannes Film Festival, and for which I won the British Screenwriters Guild Award for Best Screenplay. I also supervised music for the film, finding all the tracks that were used as well as securing the involvement of Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood. I was also the music supervisor and exec producer for the BAFTA winning short film "The Swimmer." I continue to write original screenplays for TV and film.

I am an award-winning filmmaker, and I have an M.F.A. in Screenwriting from DePaul University. I specialize in script development, story breaking, character development, editing prose and scripts, and researching projects. I love helping my clients develop their stories and find their voice within their screenplays and novels. I also have a passion for properly formatting screenplays and proofreading them. I wrote and produced a short film and web series pilot in Chicago, IL. I crowdfunded for each of those projects, and my short film went on to win Best LGBTQ+ Film at the Women's Comedy Film Festival in Chicago - presented by Cinema Life. To date, I have helped filmmakers raise over $27,000 for their web series, films, and more. My eBook on crowdfunding for filmmakers called "From Logline to Launch" is available NOW on Amazon! I am currently working on my second memoir. In addition to screenwriting and crowdfunding, my expertise also lies in ghostwriting, drafting emails, and developing web content. When I'm not writing or helping creatives with their projects, I play tennis, dream about dogs, bake and travel to new places. Let's connect!
