About

After graduating from Syracuse University, I moved out to Los Angeles with aspirations to become a cinematographer. I worked for 10 years as a local 600 camera assistant on both comedy and drama shows where I'm no stranger to working long hours. Despite how much I love my job, I quickly realized I wanted to write for these shows instead of shooting them. I enrolled in the UCLA mentorship program in 2015 and have been with my mentor, Barry Vigon, ever since. I was a semi-finalist for ABC-Disney’s writing fellowship in 2018 and my most recent half-hour multi-camera show is currently being pitched to companies by HeadquartersTV.
