Hey! Thanks for stopping by.
I’m a screenwriter, copywriter, and editor based in Silicon Valley. I specialize in writing comedic narrative scripts, many featuring gay/lesbian protagonists and strong female characters. My screenplays have placed in screenwriting contests such as Final Draft Big Break, the Launch Pad Pilot Competition, the Cinequest Screenwriting Competition, the ScreenCraft Feature competition, and WeScreenplay Diverse Voices. You can check out all my accolades via my screenplay page.
Additionally, I write scripts for YouTube videos, copy for film productions, social media posts/captions/scripts, and more. I have experience performing voiceovers, too. See some samples here. I can write copy for every tone, voice, etc. My past and current clients include TogetherWell, Illumeably, Narainbow Films, NuWave Community Media, Tricircuit Productions, and Anh Le.
I also co-host a small podcast called DOOMSDAY SISTER WIVES. My best friend (Robert) and I talk about filmmaking in the Bay Area and interview other local creatives. We give progress updates on films we’re currently making, too, so stay tuned!
Outside of writing, I’m into ballroom dancing, acting, studying languages, drawing snakes & lizards, and I’m getting more into traveling, too. If there’s anything else you need to know about me, feel free to reach out via my contact page. Can’t wait to hear from you!
