Having earned my bachelor's degree with honors in Television Writing and Producing from Columbia College Chicago, I am an Emmy-nominated writer and producer for a national television show, alongside my writing partner. My films and TV pilots have been recognized by the Southern California Screenplay Competition, the Filmmatic Horror Screenplay Awards, and the Broadcast Education Association, among other notable festivals. I am currently shopping a workplace sitcom, a horror anthology series, and a feature-length adult holiday comedy. Additionally, my writing partner and I are in the process of writing our second feature, a WWII suspense horror film.
