I’ve adored writing since I was a kid. In fact, I wrote my first novel when I was 11 years old—I’m not saying it was a masterpiece, but don’t tell that to the earnest 11-year-old me. I pursued my passion for film and television by attending the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, and then transitioned into a decade-long career in the television industry. • I specialize in pitching and creating compelling and highly-clickable articles and videos • I have over 6 years of experience working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven digital newsroom where I gained expertise in content management systems (CMS). • I flourish in environments where I work collaboratively and independently. • I have a knack for taking on serious—even controversial—subject matter and turning it into an enjoyable and insightful read. I’m also a self-starter who isn’t afraid to take creative risks: At AccessHollywood.com, I launched the comedic movie review web series, the Film Fan Forum, which had a unique format—targeting film buffs who had already seen the movies—leading to thousands of hits. Then, in 2013, I decided to take a few years off from my fruitful television career to follow my dream of writing novels. I took the initiative to create my own publishing company, Fathoming Press, through which I self-published “Persimmon Takes On Humanity”—the first book in the young adult series, “The Enlightenment Adventures” (Book Two is slated for fall 2018). I solely managed the full-scale marketing campaign, which led to rave reviews, international book sales and propelled it to a #1 bestseller in the “Animal Rights” category on Amazon.com. Now that I established my side career as an author, I am seeking a challenging and creative, full-time opportunity at which I can thrive.
