OUT MAGAZINE
Writer

Job overview
- “The Confessions of a Retired Gaslighter.” https://www.advocate.com/voices/gaslighting
- My time inside the writer’s room at Out Magazine has allowed me to focus my mind on prompts that shine a light on the outcasts, outliers, and marginalized groups of the world, and my heart on the idea tha vulnerability, specificity, and unapologetic transparency are the key to revelatory storytelling.
THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY
Entertainment Lead
12.2022 - Current
Job overview
- Most recently, my time with the Disney leadership team has allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the operation. I’ve served as the liaison between all levels of management and the cast and crew. I’ve perfected the craft of tracking daily reports, organizational data, and scheduling. I’ve learned how to access and navigate new software applications that make the job easier and more effective. However, my greatest assets are rethinking concepts based on operational needs, challenging creatives to work outside their comfort zones, and motivating each cast member to strive for a better version of themselves than they were the day before.

THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY
Entertainment
04.2017 - 12.2022
Job overview
- I first became deeply connected to the lifeblood of Disney by interacting with thousands of guests as beloved IPs, driving multi-million-dollar floats, and delivering exceptional guest relations, especially during a demanding holiday season. Creating safe, controlled, and productive work environments, prioritizing a positive guest experience, and collaborating with others has been the heart of my Disney experience. In the fall of 2022, I was asked to apply for the position of Entertainment Lead.
MANIC MIND PRODUCTIONS
Producer’s Assistant
04.2019 - 03.2022
Job overview
- “17th Door’s Spook Show” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXsBREKzFj8
- My time with the production, full of manic minds, was mainly comprised of writing, revising, and reviewing scripts, conducting creative research, and keeping the mania to a record low by filling in wherever I was needed. I expedited the pre-production process by setting up gaff sets, organizing and executing ideas and shots, and assisting the head writers of the operation, all under a high-stakes environment. I expedited the post-production process by adhering to tight timelines, pivoting to more cost-effective prompts, and serving as a daily reminder that we’re filming something fun.
