For over a decade, I've been deeply immersed in the Hollywood film and TV industry, specializing in script development across various mediums, including film, television, and digital projects. My career spans roles at top talent agencies, TV networks, financiers, and production companies associated with A-list talent including Ben Stiller, Trevor Noah, and Ed Helms. I've pitched and developed projects with all major studios and buyers, and worked with everyone from Academy Award-winning writers to emerging voices in the industry.
I have a broad range of experience in developing projects across genres, from big-budget action to period drama to adult animation, with a strong passion for socially impactful narratives as well as comedies. As the Director of Development at 1Community, a production company and co-financier dedicated to using the power of storytelling to drive real-world impact, I worked with many experienced writers and directors to develop content that was informative yet also marketable, and analyzed pitches and scripts for potential financing opportunities. Notably, I served as production executive on Stephen Chobosky’s Emmy-Nominated Netflix film “Nonnas,” starring Vince Vaughn, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Brenda Vaccaro, Talia Shire, and Linda Cardellini.
At Day Zero Productions, founded by South African comedian and former host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, I served as a key executive on over 20 projects where I played a critical role in developing and pitching to major studios including Paramount, Universal, and Disney, as well as networks such as FX, Paramount+, and Netflix. I focused on elevating stories from underrepresented and international voices, working with writers from diverse backgrounds and varying levels of experience, both in the US and globally.
During my time at Ben Stiller’s Red Hour Productions, I assisted in developing, pitching, and producing a diverse range of projects across film and television, including notable titles such as Emmy-Nominated "Severance" (Apple), "In the Dark" (CW), "The Package" (Netflix), and "Plus One" (2019). This role provided me with a deep understanding of the full lifecycle of a project, from script development through post-production, highlighting the importance of a strong narrative foundation for a smooth production process.
Throughout my career, I have built strong relationships with numerous talent agents and managers. Combined with my experience at top talent agency WME | IMG (now Endeavor), I gained a comprehensive understanding of what it takes for a script to stand out in a crowded market. This experience crucially shaped my ability to navigate the complex world of talent representation and script pitching, equipping me with a sharp eye for compelling stories.
Originally from Connecticut, I spent over a decade in Los Angeles after earning degrees in Narrative Studies and Cinematic Arts from the University of Southern California. I have always loved to travel and expand my worldview through culture, art, and history. I recently just completed a master’s program in International Business in Media and Entertainment at the Rome Business School in Italy, where I continued my life-long study of storytelling within the global media landscape (and ate a lot of delicious pasta).
