I have been working in the film and television industry since 2003. I've sold several original screenplays and television pilots, and I've written numerous credited, and uncredited original, and adapted screenplays. I have also worked as a staff writer, and story editor on three television shows. I specialize in world-building with social justice narratives. I have feature and television samples in drama, comedy, horror, crime, political, and action thrillers, and blended genre content. I have extensive experience adapting novels for both film and tv, and I have also written 'clean romance' for Hallmark. I have writing samples for all, upon request. I also provide scriptwriting, script doctoring, ghostwriting, synopses, loglines, outlines, pitch documents, show bibles, and dynamic pitch decks on Canva. My past employers include: HBO, Fox, Sony, AMC, Lionsgate, STARZ, Hallmark Channel, Universal Studios, and multiple mini-studios, production companies, PODs, and independent directors. Upon request, I can provide writing samples in multiple styles in drama, comedy, romance, thriller, supernatural, and science fiction, as well as references from directors, tv writers, and film directors for whom I have worked. I have a strong work ethic. I take direction well under pressure, and process notes to my employer's satisfaction. This work is also my passion.

As a seasoned Executive Producer and Line Producer with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in turning creative visions into fully realized projects. From a YouTube series that landed on national theater screens and Hulu to award-winning shorts and long-form television, I’ve guided productions from spark to screen — shaping concepts, building schedules, tightening budgets, and mentoring creators through every step of development and pre-production. What I do best is bridge the gap between the creative and the logistical. I help filmmakers refine their ideas into pitch-ready packages, while also providing production strategy services like budgeting, scheduling, and scripting oversight — ensuring their shoots are planned, efficient, and ready to roll. Whether you’re gearing up for your first short or prepping a feature with a tight window, I’ll help you get there with clarity and confidence. Clients value my clear communication, sense of calm under pressure, and ability to make the complex feel manageable. I bring big-picture thinking with boots-on-the-ground execution — and I love nothing more than collaborating with passionate filmmakers who are ready to get their vision made.
