Greater Los Angeles Area

I was a staff writer on the second season of Freeform's "Shadowhunters." During this time I wrote two episodes of the show and was lucky enough to produce four of them in Toronto. My specialties lie in character development and punchy dialogue.

Greater Los Angeles Area

I was a staff writer on the fifth season of Lifetime's award-winning series "Drop Dead Diva." My episode (#509 "Trust Me") aired in the fall! My specialties seem to rest in dialogue punches and making with the funny.

I oversaw the creative and editorial content for ABCFamily.com, which has since become Freeform. I maintained an epically large editorial calendar, and managed a team of smart writers and creative professionals who produced compelling videos, blogs, photo galleries (and a serious amount more) for the network's VERY engaged audience.

I managed the writers and photo editors for The View, SOAPnet.com, and the daytime show pages at ABC.com. We ran a tight and very strange editorial calendar, and won a Promax BDA Award for copywriting. I also somehow gained a small and dedicated following while serving as on-camera talent for “Soapnet News."

I wrote blogs for the Real Housewives, I made a few webseries, I managed a gay little site called outzonetv.com. Also I got to go to Tim Gunn's house and record him once a week it was heaven.

Ran a burgeoning chain of coffee and sandwich shops in Brooklyn, New York. Maintained a staff of 30, while managing extraordinarily large budgets and revenue streams. I loved every minute of it. Responsibilities included: Payroll, Scheduling, Food Prep, cheerfulness.
