What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative roles that combine storytelling or development work with clear organization, opportunities for growth, and a supportive team culture.

I am a screenwriter and educator with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Writing for Screen and Television from the University of Southern California. My background spans writers' rooms, development internships, production assistance and classroom teaching, giving me a practical, production-focused storytelling perspective.

In scripted environments I supported writers and producers by taking detailed notes, organizing writers' room materials, conducting development research and producing coverage for drama scripts. I built accessible databases and documentation to streamline production workflows and assisted senior producers with technical and organizational tasks.

As an educator I designed needs-based lesson plans, managed classrooms across grade levels, and maintained student engagement through strong classroom management techniques. I taught English abroad and worked as a substitute teacher in a large urban district, demonstrating adaptability across subjects and age groups.

I bring dependable execution, strong organizational systems, and collaborative communication to creative and educational teams. I am detail-oriented, tech-capable, and committed to supporting storytellers and students to achieve measurable goals.
