As an artist, screenwriter, and introverted science nerd with a child-like imagination and an obsession with animals, I enjoy escaping into a world of my own creation. Formerly a science teacher, with an education in zoology and veterinary medicine, I plan to transform my zoologically themed lessons and artwork into an immersive filmmaking experience, including my anthropomorphized animal paintings as characters.

My animal characters are immersed in man-made technological worlds. Superficially, they seem sweet, wrapped in a sugar coating of childhood innocence. But underneath that protective exterior, an imagination is running wild, with an urgent message about conservation, consumerism, and conformity.

Inspired by the animal world and Alfred Hitchcock, my new screenplay, Zoogle, tells a story about the value of neurodiversity, the importance of the animal world, and the power of the imagination. This the message I want to share in all of my work.
