Developing scripts and characters for high-profile film, TV, and videogame projects, I drive the success of new and existing IPs by focusing on the most essential element—telling great stories.I love solving the creative calculus required to bring a story from its initial concept to post-production and release. My passion for breaking stories and building worlds is infectious, enabling me to empower the creative spirits of visual artists, actors, writers, and editors alike. Creating characters that genuinely connect with audiences—such as Marvel’s X-23, who has gone from her first appearance in X-Men Evolution to appearing in this year’s Deadpool & Wolverine—is the essence of my work.None of these ambitious ideas would be possible without the hard work of my teams and colleagues. As a leader, I inspire each team member to bring out their best and leave egos outside of the creative space. Beyond my role in the writer’s room, I am deeply involved in all facets of IP development. From guiding casting, set design, editing, and VFX processes to helping actors better understand the depth of their characters, I champion a cohesive creative vision while effectively supporting all teams involved to establish a positive organizational culture in service to the project’s success. This approach enables me to nurture promising talent while continuing my personal creative growth.My love for all things nerdy fuels my creativity. Outside of work, I love designing and creating custom LEGO Minifigures, such as the ice-cream themed NeapoliTim, through my brand Lemon Scented Ninja.Moving forward, I am ready to leverage my creativity and leadership expertise to build exciting new IPs and worlds.
