About Heather

I'm an award-winning screenwriter, filmmaker and comedian in Los Angeles. I currently work as a freelance Script Doctor, providing notes/coverage, story analysis and rewriting and ghostwriting services to clients across the globe. I am aiming to land a full-time position at a media or entertainment company, preferably in a producer or development role. I have experience in multiple facets of the industry with a heavy concentration on writing, producing and comedy. I am deeply passionate about storytelling and feel my eye for talent and ability to spot quality material would be an asset to any company I had the privilege of working for.
