I'm a writer and assistant director, currently focused on TV one-hour dramas. I am also in preproduction on my first short film

Prior to writing fulltime, I was a tech designer for Snapchat creating sunglasses with cameras to help users tell better stories. During my time at Snap, I helped to develop and produce several of our marketing and promotional videos with distribution to millions of users. I learned to evaluate the impact on such a large audience while working between multiple teams.

Additionally, I’m a graduate from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in Mandarin Chinese, as well as a military veteran with 3+ years of proven experience in Emergency Management. 

I currently serve as a Writer’s Assistant and work freelance as a 1st AD. These are just a few of the life experiences that have helped me to develop a fine-tuned attention to detail and the ability to execute projects in an organized and concise manner.

Specialties include telling stories about hapless heroes facing off against their biggest enemy, themselves. My signature style combines thought-provoking puzzles set in unique worlds with genre-bending characters and stories. I enjoy creating grounded characters, who know what they want and pursue their goals (good or bad) with unwavering determination. I believe that, on the page, anything is possible and should be pursued in order to push screenwriting and unlock their most compelling stories.
