I'm an animation and comedy screenwriter with over seven years of experience bringing characters to life. From writing for beloved shows on Disney Jr and WB Animation to crafting children's books that spark imagination, I specialize in stories that make people laugh, cry, and feel deeply connected.
My writing blends heart, humor, and a touch of the absurd. Whether it's a preschool adventure or an adult comedy, I believe every story deserves emotional truth wrapped in something memorable.
