Biography
My work has been featured in Creativity, Shoot, Adweek, Advertising Age, Communication Arts, Print, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Filter, Open Culture and Salon. It has also been awarded in the Beldings, the One Show, the Seattle, Dallas and Minneapolis Show. My feature length script – Artimus Pyle, was selected as a finalist for the 2015 Sundance Writers Lab and the 2015 Blacklist/Cassian Elwes Writers Foundation.
Most importantly, I'm a kind and generous human with a dark and witty sense of humor. I'm passionate about nature, politics, film, design, music, art, and literature. I've helped raise two wildly wonderful daughters and hope to leave things better than I found them.
