Ideation & Creative Brainstorming

I love creating and solving problems, whether it be on a team or working on my own. From marketing campaigns to world-building for a drama television series, I love conceptual collaboration. Starting with an innate ability to brainstorm, the skill has grown with more practice in team dynamics and high demand concept building. I have also grown in delivering high quality pages quickly and efficiently for clients, often times in hourly turnarounds.

Marketing & Promotion

A skill that has continued to grow and adapt is in promotion in today’s market. I have worked on marketing teams to deliver messaging to promote engagement into our brand and product. Story is at the heart of our emotional decision making. Using these narrative elements, I try to engage the customer as the “hero” of their story, inviting the product to be the “guide” on their quest. To deliver brand and product messaging in a concise, clear way that incites a positive emotional response is a skill I have engaged in and continue to adapt.

Social Media Marketing

In particular, I have worked professionally in social media marketing for the past nine years. Being a digital native in my generation, I have wanted to stay up on trends of social media use; how it works and how it is changing. But this is vitally accompanied by narrative language that invites the consumer or user into a personal, emotional response. It is the pairing of each new technical medium with the timeless ways human beings connect ideas and emotions that I try to communicate in social media posts.

Leadership & Team Player

Since high school, I have served in leadership roles on teams. I love the idea pruning process collaborating on a project with other artists and coworkers. I work well with others personalities and consistently want to be sharpened in my own character in the workplace. I don’t shut ideas down when I disagree with them. I want to see ideas followed through to discover their weight. Although I can deliver by myself on writing projects, I trust heavily on my teammate’s values when we are assigned to work on a project together.

Writing & Formatting

I have a proficient knowledge of screenplay formatting and of how to incite curiosity with words for the visual medium. From promotional material to standard feature screenplays, I have been educated in how to communicate with clarity in a storied essence. I am experienced in Final Draft and all of the built-in the tools therein. I am well trained in writing coverage and providing rewrites for other scripts, for television and feature, and have maintained that skill since college.

Directing & Producing

A story is the most fully realized by a production’s director. I have loved stepping into this role and owning it across all levels of production. I get to exercise my leadership, communication, and artistic ability all in one expression. Starting first as a writer, this is where my written expertise is fully tested (and I love it). Previously directing in multiple styles of format, I want to continue in this skill, working the muscles as the creative foundation on a set.

Producing

I’ve been surprised for my love in growing great talent as a producer. I have increased in my proficiency to gather great talent and skillful people to produce shows and video content. I have trained and assimilated crew in this process in an effort to see an idea from pre-production to a final product.

Editing

I have worked as an intern, coverage writer, and professorial assistant in editing other people’s works. Note giving is a form of storytelling, especially when communicating writing changes clearly. I bring my formatting and storytelling experience into the notes and changes I suggest. I use Final Draft tools to communicate edits and changes in drafts.

VIDEO EDITING

I also have been a video editor since high school, paying close attention to dramatic pacing, comedic beats, and action continuity. I have edited most of the films I have made and continue to love the art of editing as a means of storytelling.
