Throughout my career, I have thrived in environments that require innovative thinking and the ability to distill complex concepts into compelling narratives. At CBS Television Studios, where I signed an exclusive deal to develop and produce original series, I honed my skills in writing for diverse formats and audiences, including television, live events, and digital content. I have consistently excelled at working under tight deadlines and balancing multiple projects simultaneously, all while ensuring high-quality output. As a leader in writers’ rooms and in working across departments in the production of both episodic television and live events, I understand the amazing impact and creative boost that collaboration brings to each project.
