KEY ATTRIBUTES: Back to top

  • Being able to seamlessly cross genres with ease, writing for comedy and/or drama in any format, whether it be for radio, TV or film.
  • An abundance of ideas constantly entering my head. I will never have writer’s block. Once one project is completed, it’s quickly onto the next.
  • Forward thinking with ideas and storylining. While most writers may create a pilot script and then struggle to gather further ideas for a complete series, my initial idea for a show soon transcends into enough storylines for several episodes and beyond.
