The Informal Bio 

Hi! 

The Informal Bio 

Hi! My name is Hope, and I bet you probably can't come up with a Hope joke I haven't heard before. 

​

I am Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt combined: the best combo of driven and nerdy. You'll find me unironically dressing up in dinosaur onesies in public and memorizing Shakespeare monologues for fun.

​

My goal is not just to tell good stories--and don't get me wrong, that's ALWAYS the goal...

​

But my goal is to help you get your stories told, too. I often see myself as a constant student, learning what I can so I can help others make their headway with their own dreams (whether it be acting, writing, or any form of storytelling).

​

I'm a girl's girl, a writer's writer, and am really big into helping other people. I've been helped by so many mentors over the years.

​

I'm also really big on going the extra mile, as Jesus would say. It's not uncommon for me to find thousands/tens of thousands of things in book edits (being as thorough as I can be), and memorizing entire films scripts before they go into production--doing everything I can to give each story I'm given its due diligence. I want to honor every story I'm given to perform, edit, or write. 

​

I'd love to help you tell your story, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of yours!
