About Me!
I’ve been obsessed with stories since I was old enough to hold a book, spending most of my school years in libraries and reading fantasy novels and comics under my desk in class. That devotion became a need to tell stories myself, and I threw myself into writing novels, comics and plays.
My love for storytelling drew me to editorial work, first in journalism and then in publishing. Since 2015, I’ve worked in Marvel Comics’ editorial department on a wide range of series in the Avengers line. As an editor, I tap into my background as a writer and artist to connect with the talent on my books. Using my versatile skill base and enthusiasm for collaboration, I assemble top-tier creative teams and empower them to tell the best versions of their stories.
When I’m not editing comics, I’m writing novels. I’m currently seeking representation for a quirky crossover fantasy novel and a YA space opera romcom while working on a new adult fantasy novel. I’m also a produced playwright and screenwriter, which you can read more about here.
