I had a very roundabout path towards becoming a storyteller. I always loved to read and watch movies as a kid, and undergraduate film school was a natural draw.

I soon discovered that I wanted to tell stories rather than just study existing ones, so I transferred schools and got into video production, only then to realize that the written word was my true passion.

With creative writing and video production degrees in hand, I got my first job at a marketing firm that just happened to produce fundraising videos for nonprofits. Hello, fundraising!

It's not the medium, it's the message.
