I'm a creative and hard-working writer with plentiful experience in screenwriting, game writing, editing, and narrative design. Particularly experienced in expansive world-building, snappy dialogue, and vivid descriptions, I am always looking to bring my passion for writing to more ambitious projects.

Writer/Artist/Designer - Ghostly Beans Café 2 (Twine Game) - An interactive fiction game centering around a sarcastic barista who serves coffee to a diverse and colorful cast of friendly ghosts.

Some background
I determined how I want to spend the rest of my life in my fourth-grade English class.While many of my memories of elementary school are hazy, this one is crystal clear. Our assignment was to write fictional short stories and get feedback from our classmates about them, and I decided to write one about a superhero with the power to control electricity. I finished my story and showed it to one of my friends, and he loved it. It was around then that I realized that I wanted to be a writer. With the support of my friends, family, and English teachers, I've been writing newer and better stories ever since.I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in Radio-Television-Film. As a screenwriter, I've completed 10 full-length feature scripts, a pilot, and several shorts. I've also done plenty of game writing, both as an independent creator of interactive Twine games and as a writer on Fallout: Miami. I currently write for the app MeChat: Love Secrets and the website Cheddar.TV.

Ghostly Beans Café 2: A sequel to my first Twine game with a new story, new characters, and five unique endings. It features many more passages than the original and expands on the characters and story in a big way.
Ghostly Beans Café: A Twine game that follows a barista who serves coffee to ghosts in a cozy café. It features branching dialogue and multiple endings. The writing, programming, and art for this game was all done by me over the course of a month.
