About Me

          As a screenwriter with a distinctive background in canine training, I endeavor to infuse my work with a fresh and nuanced perspective. Drawing on my extensive knowledge of animal behavior, psychology, and communication, I strive to craft characters that are multi-dimensional and relatable. Through years of working with dogs and honing my keen observational skills, I have developed a finely tuned ability to create realistic and nuanced portrayals of human behavior.

​

          I have gained a singular insight into the primal instincts that animate both humans and canines. By discerning the deep-seated motivations and drives that constitute a dog's entire psyche, I have cultivated a keen sense of what animates human beings at their core. At the heart of our humanity lies an array of fundamental instincts - the drive to protect, the need for companionship, and the desire for sustenance and shelter. By scrutinizing and interpreting the behaviors of dogs, I have acquired a profound appreciation for the intricacies of human behavior and the motivations that propel our actions.

​

          In my writing, I draw on this comprehensive understanding to fashion characters that are not only relatable but also undeniably human. By tapping into these primal instincts, I endeavor to create stories that resonate with audiences on a visceral level and leave an indelible impression. And let us not overlook the dog owners themselves - often as complex and fascinating as their canine counterparts. Through my work as a dog trainer, I have encountered a wide range of individuals, each possessing a unique personality, quirks, and motivations. From the overbearing helicopter parent to the laid-back free spirit, dog owners come in a diverse array of shapes and sizes, each harboring their own story to tell. By scrutinizing their behavior and communication with their pets, I have acquired a deep-seated appreciation for the human psyche and the complexities that animate our actions.

​

          Concerning plot development, my experience in dog training has instilled in me the significance of structure and consistency. Like training a dog, a well-crafted screenplay necessitates a clear arc and a deliberate sequence of events to maintain audience engagement and investment.

​

          In summary, though my journey to becoming a screenwriter may have been unconventional, I take pride in my unique perspective and the skills that I have honed along the way.
