Summary

Deeply passionate about the human experience and narratives, I am eager to work alongside those at the heart of our most popular, modern day means of storytelling: film and television. With over a decade of experience in the film industry, I have held various creative jobs: writing, directing, producing, and acting, alongside my other professional roles. Having read thousands of scripts, I have a keen eye for what elements constitute a compelling story, and as a freelance script consultant, I provide valuable feedback to writers, helping them refine and elevate their stories.

I am detail oriented, highly organized, dependable under pressure, and can easily manage many competing priorities. Whether working independently or collaborating with a team, I thrive in both settings. My interpersonal and communication skills allow me to easily cultivate and manage relationships. I am smart, strategic, and an exceptionally quick learner. I am ecstatic at the opportunity to work as an assistant supporting the talented literary agents of Anonymous Content, and I am eager to learn as much as possible. With a deep understanding of the film industry, extensive business and creative experience, and a lot of drive and passion, I know that I would bring significant value to the Anonymous Content team.
