Summary
After graduating from Yale University, I spent a decade working in film production as an assistant director, production manager, and producer. In 2013, I started writing for brands thru a company called MOFILM which, at the time, held competitions for up and coming filmmakers.
My success with MOFILM lead me to Cannes Lions 2014, and after that, I went back to school at The Book Shop – School for Ads as a copywriter. Graduating in 2018, I’ve been freelancing ever since.
