About Me

My passion for stories well told and building fantastic worlds drive my work as a writer and narrative designer for Disney Lorcana, as well as my freelance writing.

My storytelling ranges from single lines of text on cards, to animatic scripts, to full-length novels. Each of these mediums present unique opportunities to engage audiences and ignite imaginations. I’ve been fortunate enough to hone my skills in these areas on Lorcana’s Narrative team and through developing other multimedia projects with my writing partners.

I thrive in collaborative environments where there’s a free exchange of ideas between different teams. I believe strongly in creating spaces for a variety of voices. Amazing ideas for compelling stories and breathtaking worlds can come from anywhere–they just need to be invited. This is just as true for games and entrainment as it is for academia; my time managing Lorcana’s short fiction and directing intercultural dialogues has proved this many times over.

I draw creative inspiration from voices across time, cultures, and disciplines: mythology, comics, academic journals, animation, literary non-fiction, video games, classical literature, contemporary television, and film. My educational background in ancient history, languages, and literature, along with my professional experience working with some of the world’s most beloved properties (Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, etc.) have fueled my love for interdisciplinary conversations.

I also enjoy providing fresh perspectives and creative solutions to narrative problems–the thornier, the better. Shepherding Lorcana’s publishing efforts and serving as Executive Director of an educational non-profit organization have presented unexpected challenges and deeply meaningful opportunities for growth. So if you love good stories, amazing worlds, and meaningful ideas, let’s talk.
