Experience
2020 - Present
Narrative Designer - Scopely
Worked on a plethora of scripts, scenes and story arcs for a yet-unreleased, narrative-driven IP from Scopely. In this role, I was responsible for creating characters, lore, factions, and mythology for a brand new fantasy world. I also contributed daily to a thriving writer’s room and reviewed and edited stories, pitches, and scripts. I also worked with quest designers, character designers, and level designers across various time zones to create dynamic, branching, narrative content.
2014 - Present
Editor In Chief - Making Comics Worldwide
Ensure constantly evolving content is curated and standardized for usage in classrooms, as well as personal use. I created tutorials, articles, reviews, and other blog/instructional materials for a global audience. In addition, I also oversaw an in-person comic-making masterclass for at-risk and underprivileged youth, where I instructed students on the process of creating their own comic books from start to finish, culminating in a presentation panel at Wondercon Anaheim.
2017-2020
Senior Email Marketing Manager - Tibrio
Oversaw daily operations and execution of email and other media-related copy for the entire company. I managed an email list of several million users and ensured highest standards of email copy and sending best-practices were upheld, which led to an increase of hundreds of thousands of dollars in monthly revenue.

Skills
& Expertise
My skill sets emphasize all elements of narrative design and creative editorial - from character ideation and build out, to story treatments and expansive narrative arcs, to script writing and storyboarding.
With a strong media background (both digital and traditional) coupled with a Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Creative Writing - Fiction from San Diego State University, I've been able to excel professionally and personally throughout my career, allowing me to pursue work that I love and deliver immersive narrative experiences that delight and inspire.
While I have no qualms about flying solo, I find myself truly at home in the writer's room, where I actively work to build healthy, positive camaraderie among my coworkers and ensure feelings of mutual respect and ownership are felt by all. Communication is key, people!
