I am a writer, film producer, and martial artist based in Los Angeles. Over the past 14 years, I produced 28 films.

Being very honest and specific about “place” in storytelling, my work explores future and contemporary American identity. Before entering tv/film, I worked in investigative journalism at NPR and The NYTimes where I learned the principles of research and grounded storytelling. Interested in stretching the narrative potential of fantasy and black comedy, my work leans on the socio-political themes of climate change, class divides, migration, and bureaucracy.‍ ‍

A Film Independent Project Involve Writing Fellow, I was also awarded the 2025 Easterseals Disability Film Challenge Adobe Filmmaker Grant alongside Brett Maline. As of June 2026, I am currently lead producing Brett’s comedy feature with Bronxburgh, the production company behind A24's IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU and Magnolia Pictures’ THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE.

As of May 2023, I earned my MFA in Film & TV Production at USC School of Cinematics Arts with a focus on screenwriting and producing. I worked directly under Gail Katz (AIR FORCE ONE, MIGHTY JOE YOUNG) and Tony Jonas (President of WBTV, 95-99) as Showrunner/Executive Producer in USC’s year-long TV production course, “Straight to Series.” Fall semester was dedicated to development—giving script notes inside a Writers’ Room. Come Spring semester, our team septupled in size. We led a production of over 80 students in the largest and most expensive student production in the school’s history. The show won the Student Emmy for Best Drama Series.

As a graduate student at USC, I worked as an assistant to Daniel Noah, Co-Founder and Head of Development at SpectreVision. I also worked as an assistant to Bonnie Bruckheimer, Scott Kroopf, and Jason Squire (editor of The Movie Business Book).

Outside of writing and set production, I study the Japanese martial art of Aikido. I conquer my disability of narcolepsy/cataplexy with effective time management, stealthy grip locks, and regular nap times.

I studied Philosophy and Political Science at Tufts University
