Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm originally from South Jersey, right outside Philadelphia. I got interested in filmmaking in high school which turned me onto the Film Studies major at Boston College, where I took my first screenwriting class and realized that's where my passion always was - writing.

I've written my own feature length screenplay, several short film scripts that have screened at the MFA, as well as worked for a small independent film production company based right outside of Boston.

I've also taught a senior elective screenwriting class at Elizabeth Seton Academy my junior year at BC while I participated in the Pulse Program, specializing in tutoring in essay writing, literary analysis, and Title 1 programs.

Overall, I love watching & talking about movies, acting and directing in student films, in addition to writing my own.
