WORK HISTORY
VP, Develoment @DreamWorks Animation
Glendale, CA, US
As VP, Development, I’ve developed, pitched, and successfully sold original animated series to top platforms like Hulu, Netflix, and Apple TV+, while managing over 10 creative projects at once. As a Book Scout, I collaborated closely with book agents, literary reps, and authors to source high-potential IP and original concepts for development. Over the past four years, I’ve sold six animated series, including Madagascar: A Little Wild (Peacock & Hulu), Go, Dog. Go!(Netflix), Team Zenko Go (Netflix), Pinecone & Pony (Apple TV+), Not Quite Narwhal (Netflix), and Dew Drop Diaries (Netflix). I’ve led talent discovery and artist sourcing, offered creative feedback, and explored innovative animation styles aligned with each project’s vision.
