About

I'll uncover the hidden gems in your content. I create engaging stories with clear messaging.

I'm a game narrative designer for games and learning experiences, and love to create characters, plots, worlds, and dialogue. I work in both fictional and fact-based storytelling, and love doing deep research to inspire and create stories. I'm particularly talented at and enjoy crafting clear and engaging messaging from topics that seem complex or difficult. Whether it be a feeling you want ingrained in your story's theme or explicit learning goals you want a user to take away, I will make sure this happens.

I'm an experienced script and story editor, having worked in documentary films editing scripts and developing stories for award-winning features and series, and VR/game writing for learning and entertainment.

Before this I was an active research scientist for twelve years; starting as a botanist and bird surveyor exploring suburban prairie, and ending as a virologist responding to the largest outbreak of Ebola virus in West Africa, my adventure as a scientist has changed the way I view life, and the way I operate on a daily basis.

Work Terms

I work during Eastern time business hours. For project kick-offs, a [virtual] meeting is ideal for ideation, questions, and getting to know your wants and needs of the project.
