A Wolf's
Desire
In a dying Pennsylvania steel town, a lonely soccer captain pulls a stranger out of the woods and lands inside a family of dire wolves, inherited memory, and a want she isn't supposed to have.

Writer & Producer
Writer & Producer / Film & Television
I write for film and television. My scripts follow women who want something badly enough to break their own lives over it: a soccer captain who finds a stranger in the woods, a queen who falls for the wrong singer, a librarian who can't get out of her own building.
About
I'm interested in what people will trade to get what they want.
Imagine Skies Productions is my company. I started it to develop my own scripts instead of waiting for permission, and everything on this page came out of it: four projects, one of them far enough along to shoot.
I studied history and communications at Montclair State, and I've spent the last few years on campaign staff and running youth programming. Both jobs are mostly listening to people who need something from you. That turns out to be the same skill as writing dialogue.
The slate
In a dying Pennsylvania steel town, a lonely soccer captain pulls a stranger out of the woods and lands inside a family of dire wolves, inherited memory, and a want she isn't supposed to have.
A queen in a violent marriage falls for a traveling singer. The court decides that's witchcraft, and makes her answer for it in public.
A burned-out PR director goes home for thirty days, runs into her first love, and finds the town in worse shape than she is.
A librarian takes a cheap apartment in a nearly empty building and works out that the landlord, the neighbors, and the building have no intention of letting her leave.

What I do
Concepts, character, season engines, and the structural work that keeps a series running past the pilot.
Loglines, synopses, decks, series bibles, lookbooks. The documents that have to do the talking when I'm not in the room.
Scheduling, positioning, and the unglamorous coordination that gets a script in front of the person who can say yes.
Background
Communications, canvass organization, and rapid response.
Youth programming and inclusive activity design.
Research and constituent correspondence, New Jersey General Assembly.
Montclair State University. VP of the Historical Society, Phi Alpha Theta.
