I’m a strategic multimedia storyteller, working mostly in fiction, film, and advertising. Published by the likes of Mystery Tribune and Hot Metal Bridge, my work has been awarded grand prize in the 82nd Annual Writers Digest Writing Competition as well as Pittsburgh Filmmakers’ First Works Grant. Brands such as GNC, American Eagle, Under Armour, ASICS, and Netflix have enlisted my help with strategy-led, story-obsessed creative. I’ve also taught college-level writing and worked in journalism. Born and raised where the Rust Belt collides with Appalachia, I have an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University and a BA in English Writing & Film Studies from the University of Pittsburgh.
