I work across genres, and my background spans both development and production on ongoing scripted series that range in sensibility. I’m especially drawn to character-driven drama - anything where emotional stakes, identity, and relationships sit at the center of the storytelling, regardless of genre vehicle.
While I have a lot of experience in high-concept and grounded sci-fi, thriller, true crime, and elevated character mystery, I have a particular love and interest in rom-com, romance, comedy, and soft-romance, as well as holiday movies, YA, and soap-forward emotional storytelling. I’m increasingly interested in faith-based and aspirational narratives as well — stories rooted in hope, resilience, community, and joy.
I am less interested in deep period pieces, politics and war stories.
