It has been a joy to step into the world of animation and develop a story from ideation to script for Cocomelon (YouTube/Netflix). I write relatable, heart warming, funny episodes loved by kids and families. In addition to script and premise writing, I've also worked on Cocomelon development and provided new and exciting spin-off ideas. I'm very knowledgeable about YouTube and love creating new channels and working closely with production to guide the creative pipeline every step of the way.

As Head Writer and Creative Producer on Blippi (YouTube/Netflix/Hulu) for 3 Seasons, I ran creative and story from ideation to final delivery, working closely with production and talent and insuring our creative vision was met from start to finish. I hired talented writers, ran a fun Writers' Room, generated original premises, pitched premises internally, notated and polished scripts, gave feedback on set, provided notes on post-production edit and oversaw the edit until delivery.

I worked on over 300 episodes and loved my experience and my team!
