Freelance Writer + Film Creative

USA

I am a freelance writer and casting assistant.

After earning my degree in screenwriting from the School of Film and Television at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, I relocated to the Rockies for an adventurous backdrop.

When I'm not working, you can find me crashing the local comedy scene, volunteering at area film festivals, and holding a cup of coffee on the way to the ski slopes.
