Greetings from Wausau, Wisconsin! A former proofreader and manager, my life in script terms is firmly in the meaty, challenging second act. Hooked on a fun premise for over 10 years, I finally taught myself the craft of screenwriting. I write character-driven stories with heart that portray complicated family dynamics—mostly drama and grounded comedy. My scripts find the emotional story, exploring themes of loss, atonement, estrangement and regret along with love, hope, forgiveness and new beginnings. A native Iowan, all of my scripts have Midwest flavor, but locations are flexible. 

A big believer in the art of collaboration, my hope is that a script of mine will one day connect with a creative in the industry who has the vision and power to bring it to life. Organized and detail-oriented with a flexible schedule, I'm “free to fly” and would welcome the opportunity to connect with others to help make it happen. I love to travel! If you're interested in one of my scripts but it needs a few tweaks to suit your needs, I'm open to that. A script is a collaborative process. Let's talk!   

A team player who's always up for an adventure, I was the Script Supervisor for a short film and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I find fulfillment in being part of an artistic team and am open to volunteering on another film set to help another creative with their vision. Did I mention I'll work for M&M's? 

I look forward to connecting with other Script Revolution members and am very open to feedback/constructive criticism pertaining to my scripts. In fact, I welcome it since I'm regularly polishing them as inspiration strikes! A Communication Studies graduate of The University of Iowa, I’ve been described as a person who can talk to anyone. Really! Don’t be shy…
