Creative & Copywriting in ATL
It all started in the Nutgmeg State. Connecticut. A love for Model U.N. and tolerance for long car rides led to college in D.C. and afternoons spent at Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings. A chance to use that love of debate to entertain turned into a career launched in Los Angeles working at award-winning production companies and progressive political ad firms that continues in Atlanta.
Intro
After cutting my teeth in the literary and talent management divisions at Academy Award-winning Echo Lake Entertainment (Alexander Payne’s Nebraska, Hulu’s The Great), I made the leap to television development at Discount Sushi, the production company of Emmy Award winner Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) and his wife and producing partner Lisa Joyner (TLC’s Long Lost Family). I’ve also written award-winning copy for the aptly named “The Win Company” and their clients ranging from non-profit advocacy groups to congressional and senatorial candidates. My spot “Helpers” for Congresswoman Lauren Underwood won the 2023 Reed Award for Best TV Ad for a US House Campaign and a silver Pollie Award (the “Oscars for Political Advertising”) for Best TV Spot for a US House Campaign (Democrat).

My Approach
Whether it’s writing spots for campaigns and advocacy organizations with a clear mission, producing podcasts or adapting culturally significant IP for television, I’m always up for a challenge and looking to make an impact.
