    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.

    My most recent role was a Staff Writer at Nickelodeon Animation Studios on a show called "Big Nate", where I started as a Pre-school Development Intern many years ago. I have written for "Big Nate", "Santiago of the Seas", and "Rugrats" for several years at NAS. My professional writing experience started as a paid Lifestyle Blogger and Videographer in college. This is where my marketing management, event management, social media content creation and blogging career began as well. I have written thirty plus paid articles on comedy, lifestyle, health, wellness, travel, the environment, and mental health (to name a few topics that I am passionate about). As a young professional, I began my career in Proofreading and Editing for a Marketing Firm where daily I edited copy, ads, and social media content. From there, I worked as a Project Manager for a non-profit where I managed all of their social media accounts and was responsible for generating content like YouTube videos and social media copy for six plus accounts. Since my move to Los Angeles, I have written travel articles on my adventures across country, continued to work with Nickelodeon Animation and even ventured into the world of stand-up comedy.

    Hi there! I’m guessing you are here because you need help with a writing job. Oh, lucky day - because I think we’ll make a great team! Below is a list of tasks I can help you with. If you don’t find what you are looking for or have a very special project in mind, feel free to reach out and we can have a no-pressure chat about it. Copywriting I have a Master's Degree in Media Economics and have worked as a freelance marketing consultant and copy writer for the past two years. During that time, I have worked on various marketing and content projects for large corporations, tech start-ups as well as for small businesses - always fastidious to tailor the content to their unique requirements. I strongly believe that good copy writing is intertwined with excellent storytelling. See below for more information on my storytelling approach. Social Media No matter if you are starting from scratch, feel like you need to adjust your strategy to get the attention you deserve, or simply don’t feel like coming up with a post every day all by yourself – I’m here to help! I have worked as a Marketing Manager for a internatioal brokerage in the past and have vast experience creating compelling content and managing Social Media accounts. Storytelling is a crucial component of successful social media campaigns. It sets apart vibrant brands from faceless businesses and helps you create an enduring relationship with your customers. Translation As a native German speaker, I can help you translate your content from English into German and vice versa, while always conveying the original tone of your text. If needed, I will also help you localize and revise your content, Storytelling Ever since our ancestors gathered around a flickering fire to escape the cold outside the cave, stories were told. It really is the oldest form of human communication and therefor the most powerful one. AND: it’s applicable to any kind of content. Now, you might wonder if you even have a story to tell. Don’t worry, I promise you do! And we’ll work it out together. Storytelling doesn’t necessarily mean to follow the hero’s journey from setting out for adventure to returning with the all healing elixir, but rather shape your content in a from that readers can relate to and get emotionally invested in (and thus stay interested in you and your product).

    Hello! Thank you for inquiring more about who I am and what I do! My goal as your writer is to give you the best stories possible for your project! Whatever it might be, we can do it together because storytelling is not a solo mission! I've written at the professional and industry level since 2012. I have worked on feature films in the US and overseas, short films, novels, short stories, comics, and manga throughout the years. My work as a journalist and film critic with AAFCA (African American Film Critics Association) has allowed me the time to analyze films, screenplays, and television scripts that are or will be in production in Hollywood, California. I am one of the founders of EPOCH Studios, a Sci-fi and Fantasy publishing house that focuses on publishing indie authors. I proofread and edit manuscripts to ensure that the story that needs to be told is what the author intended. I am a writer that focuses on character-driven narratives, worldbuilding, and story structure. Fantasy, Sci-fi, Animation, Comedy, Romance, and Drama are the genres I specialize in within the industry. Still, I am more than capable of writing any preferred story and will work with you to ensure it is at your expected standard!
