About

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Television from New York University, I have honed my skills in the entertainment industry. As a Director at Viacom, I led the creation of promotional content for MTV's 39th annual VMAs, collaborating with influencers and VMA invitees. My experience as a Writer/Director at Comedy Central involved creating digital series and tailored joke writing to promote network properties, accumulating over 11.8 million views. Additionally, I co-produced an indie feature film and assisted the Art Department at SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. My diverse background includes roles at Tribeca, Snap Inc., and Sony Music Entertainment, where I contributed to various creative projects. I am passionate about storytelling and have a proven track record of delivering engaging content across different platforms.
