About

Hi! My name is Lissy. I'm a writer who specializes in character driven comedy for animated children's content.

LA & MD Based Screenwriter on Multiple Emmy Nominated Children's Series

Can frequently be found writing, crafting, reading, rollerskating, at high tea, pulling a tarot card, on an adventure, asking if I can have a "side of ranch with that?" at a restaurant, getting my 10,000 steps in with my beloved dog Rosie (who is an absolute agent of chaos), wondering how I would survive a zombie apocalypse, or watching a horror film followed by an NBC sitcom palate cleanser.

I've spent the majority of my professional career at Nickelodeon Animation Studios going from Pre-school Development Intern, to Production Assistant, to Production Coordinator, Script Coordinator, Freelance Writer, to my latest role as the Staff Writer for Nickelodeon's "Big Nate". These experiences have made me a well rounded writer who deeply understands production needs and capabilities while learning to be a creative problem solver with story always at the forefront of my mind. Before my time at NAS, I worked in live action commercial production as well as interned and produced on a live action children's series based in Baltimore, MD.

My favorite characters to write are spooky, complex, or angsty female leads with dysfunctional family dynamics.

I've also lived many lives as: a nanny, lifeguard, dog walker, event planner (working with talent like Amy Schumer, Steve Aoki, and Juicy J), social media manager, videographer, blogger, freelance copywriter, hand model, summer camp counselor at a Montessori school, swim coach, proofreader, and college sports marketing intern.
