I'm a Toronto-based writer specializing in advertising copy and screenwriting.
Writing has always been my main focus. My very first creative effort was a short story in second grade about a genie living in a cereal box. By my current standards, it might be a bit convoluted and riddled with plot holes, but not bad for an 8-year old.
I began my professional career as a screenwriter, working in film & TV. I have worked on various projects in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Toronto, and the UK. Since 2010, I have won 9 awards for my screenwriting efforts.
I became interested in copywriting, recognizing its similarities with film. I could see how emotion and storytelling were the driving forces of every campaign, regardless of the medium. From banner ads to video scripts, I constantly enjoy the challenge of writing copy that connects with an audience.
I love the concept of using creativity as a means for problem solving. It's quite satisfying.
When I finally get up from my computer chair, I usually sit right back down again on my drum stool. I love to bike around the city, play baseball, and snowboard. I’m also a Seinfeld and Simpsons trivia champion and proud owner of one of the chonkiest cats you've ever seen.
I'm currently a senior writer looking to grow my advertising experience and contribute to a strong creative team.
