Hello!

 

I'm a copywriter at McCann New York and I've worked with clients like U.S. Bank, FujiFilm instax, MasterCard, General Motors and ANNOVERA, for which I won an Effie. 

I specialize in producing hard-working TV spots (of all kinds, but especially comedy), generating campaign, social and activation ideas and writing pithy little headlines that make you say things like "oh, that's funny" or "maybe I DO need a new moisturizer."

I'm also a screenwriter with an MFA in Film from the Feirstein School at Brooklyn College. I studied comedy writing at the Upright Citizens Brigade and regular writing at the University of San Francisco. And I hosted an absurdist talk show set in both space and my own brain for the Annoyance Theatre and Brooklyn Public Access. I've written for Complex Magazine, Brokelyn and Wax Poetics, and my work has been featured in Time Out New York and as part of New York SketchFest.

If you'd like to see some samples of my work, please give me a shout.
