    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!

    Hello! If you need a ghostwriter to help finish or refine your story idea, I'm here to help! I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Fiction Writing and have had my original work published in a literary magazine. I am comfortable writing a multitude of genres, particularly fantasy, speculative, queer, and romance. In my time as a ghostwriter, I have worked on fantasy novels, psychological thrillers, and romantic comedies, but I am always looking to expand the scope of what I do, so don't be afraid to ask. I put 110% into everything I do, no matter the scope of the project. I am very LGBTQ-friendly (I'm queer myself) and work best with people who desire more intersectional representation in media, as that is something I strive for in my own art. Hope to hear from you!
