I’m a Clio and Emmy Award-winning writer who was born and raised in New Rochelle, New York, where I grew up on a steady diet of primetime soaps and slasher films.

I’m based in Los Angeles, where I most recently served as a copywriter and the Director of Creative Services at marketing content studio Known Global (f.k.a. Stun Creative). My work as an essayist and entertainment and travel journalist has appeared in The Humber Literary Review, Mashable, Bello Mag, Instinct, HuffPost, Medium, ScreenPicks, and Hotter in Hollywood, for which I was the Executive Editor during its 9-year run.

I also spent several years at Anonymous Content while freelancing as a treatment writer for a roster of directors and as a producer of various projects for 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. In 2023, I was the proud recipient of the Mission Award in Patient Support for my fundraising efforts with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. And I am currently seeking representation for my thriller novel, The Final Boy, a pitch that recently won Third Place in a contest hosted by the London Writers’ Salon.
