About
I am a young media professional based out of Toronto, Ontario. I have a background in theatre performance and screenwriting. I received a screenwriting concentration along with a bachelor of arts from the RTA Media Production Program at Ryerson University. I have a diverse background in television and video production, sitcom development, and dramatic film development. I have worked as a writer for RUTV, Ryerson's Television network and penned my final thesis film "Unearthed" set to be released in 2018. I have a background in photoshop as well, and am proficient in character development and design - which is what I am displaying within this portfolio.
