Creative writer and producer, who has authored entertainment content across several mediums.

Goal

Professional goal is to design, manage, and conduct research for projects that merge new technology with themed entertainment.

Work

My background includes scriptwriting, management of theater and event audiences, specializing in event technology, designing narratives for interactive products, and financing and running a company of my own. 

When I first created this portfolio in February of 2020, I listed my top 5 favorite projects below as part of an application to the Disney Imagineering Parks Show Writing Professional Internship. I was accepted into the program, however, the job was canceled due to COVID-19. I never got to participate in the program, but the empathetic recruiter on the other end of the phone told me to keep up my portfolio and resume, and keep checking the careers page so that I could reapply after COVID had passed. Well, we all know how long that took for COVID to “pass” and I completed classes in that time, so I was no longer eligible for the internship.

In that time, I earned a Dual Master’s of Information Science in Human Computer Interaction and User Experience, and Master’s in Information and Library Science. I also earned a Graduate Minor in Digital Media. I completed this degree in December 2022 with a 4.0 GPA from Drexel University.

I also worked full-time as a Narrative Designer for Elsevier’s Shadow Health product from June, 2021 to March, 2024.

I encourage you to explore my updated portfolio by using the navigation menu at the top of this page! I, most often, direct people to my UX Portfolio. I’ve also added a page detailing how I have become somewhat of an AI Integration Specialist, which I understand is a desired skillset for our new world!

However, I’m going to leave everything below as it was when I first created this page because my inspiration remains the same. My goal is to begin my career in themed entertainment now that the industry is in recovery from the pandemic.

Below, are 5 projects that I highlighted in January 2020 as my top 5 favorite projects from my writing portfolio.

About

Walt Disney has been my inspiration since I discovered the art of theme park design. I was a kid watching the Disney Channel, and Tom Morrow, a robot host, gave a tour of Walt Disney World through the eyes of an Imagineer. Since then I’ve read books on the World’s Fair, and mused over the idea of inventing attractions that would change what people believed to be possible. This fascination came out through my pen as I wrote fiction set within speculative worlds with incredible technology.  

My goal is to give audiences agency to explore the concept of a story through interaction. I am a recent graduate of a masters program in Human Computer Interaction and User Experience, and pursued such a degree to aid in my understanding of how to merge my skills in storytelling with the study of human expression through technology.

I founded 3240 Entertainment Group, LLC to see my musings through to fruition, while also providing a local skill-sharing network of creative professionals who could workshop their skills for youth in underserved communities. It is the job of creatives to envision wild possibilities, but I believe it is also moral to question what affect those inventions will have on the population for which the tools are meant to be used. I want to create products and experiences that enhance our humanity instead of creating enhancements that stunt it.

Throughout my career I have worked as an Event Manager, House Manager, Front of House Staff, and Event Technology Specialist which has strengthened my understanding of audience interaction. My background also includes writing for video games, and researching and writing for reality television. I am an alumni of the Disney College Program, and have a Bachelors of Science in Screenwriting and Playwriting from Drexel University.
