Bio

I’m a television professional and Notre Dame graduate who has spent my career doing one thing: telling stories, and helping others find their own. I work as a Showrunner’s Assistant on Criminal Minds, write sketch comedy for The Second City New York, and contribute satire to The Hard Times (750K+ Instagram followers). I graduated Cum Laude in 2023 with a B.A. in Film Production and English, and my Glynn Family Honors thesis — “A Post-COVID Future of Late-Night Comedy” — was selected as one of...

I’m a television professional and Notre Dame graduate who has spent my career doing one thing: telling stories, and helping others find their own. I work as a Showrunner’s Assistant on Criminal Minds, write sketch comedy for The Second City New York, and contribute satire to The Hard Times (750K+ Instagram followers). I graduated Cum Laude in 2023 with a B.A. in Film Production and English, and my Glynn Family Honors thesis — “A Post-COVID Future of Late-Night Comedy” — was selected as one of five outstanding projects out of one hundred.

I started tutoring in high school through my NHS chapter, working one-on-one in English and Spanish and helping peers through credit recovery. Those experiences planted something I still carry: a belief that the most important thing a tutor can do is help a student trust that their perspective matters — and give them the tools to say it clearly.

My sessions are collaborative, specific, and judgment-free. I give real, actionable feedback — not just what isn’t working, but why, and what to try instead. I celebrate what’s already working, too, because building on a strength is just as powerful as fixing a weakness. Most of all, I try to make the room feel safe enough that students aren’t afraid to take risks and try again. That’s where the best writing lives.
Every person’s life contains something worth saying. My job is to help students see it, and give them the craft to shape it into something real. I charge $65/hr and am always happy to connect before a first session.
