From live showsto cinematic scripts, narrative design to copy, my story foundation was built working with world-class entertainment companies including Disney and Universal.
I’ve collaborated with creative teams on experiences in 10 countries, 5 cruise ships, and 17 theme parks to date. My projects have won theme park design awards, been part of TEA award-winning lands, and received some of the highest guest ratings in their categories.
I also support IP holders with franchise development. This has entailed building character, story, and series bibles, as well as contributing to writers rooms. Film & television projects I’ve written for have won Southeast Emmys, been finalists for screenwriting prizes, and debuted at the Savannah and Tribeca Film Festivals. My short play, “The Leaning Tower of Pisa,” was performed at the Kennedy Center’s Page-to-Stage Festival.
Complementing these experiences, I’ve trained and worked as a narrative and conversation designer on video games & applications, multimodal & voice user interfaces, and AI. I earned a certificate in Voice User Interface Design from Career Foundry. I also continuously furthered my writing skills in prose and poetry. My work is published in Height Chart and Sunbeams, among others.
Through my experience across mediums, I strive to create experiences that go beyond entertainment to reach diverse audiences on a level that will stay with them long after they’ve experienced our stories.
I am currently the Development Writer at Falcon’s Creative Group.
