About me
Most recently I worked as a Director for KTLA+ programming where I simultaneously directed and technical directed streaming and broadcast TV—our talk show beat out major celebrity talk shows in the same time slot in our region. I helped launch and manage content for the KTLA+ app. I also write television, specializing in sit-coms and late night comedy. Additionally, I have a keen interest in content, development, social media and digital marketing. Currently working gigs on sets to stay fresh, mostly recently script supervising.May people always have laughter to be able to coexist with anything else in life. I've trained at Upright Citizen's Brigade and other comedy theatres in sketch comedy as well as at UCLA's Extension Program in TV and sitcom writing. I have strong production, broadcasting, sports, and comedy experience, including on a variety of TV shows. I trained in theatre directing/producing before making the transition into the entertainment industry.
I believe in people, the human connection and uplifting historically underrepresented voices. I am looking for my next job to be in comedy as a writer or writer's assistant, or in multi-camera directing.
I am passionate about comedy, theatre, TV, sociology, news/current events, pop culture, sports, equal rights, psychology, human connection, and laughter.
