5 years ago I was between jobs and questioning how much longer I was going to last in the entertainment industry. Then as fate would have it I learned that Naren Shankar (whom I had known from a previous show) was hiring a new assistant for the writers room on #TheExpanse. /1

I told Naren and @liberalhamlet I was interested in the job and was hired on the spot. Since then our show had been canceled on one network, renewed on another, and been given an additional 3 seasons to tell a beautiful and inspiring space epic. Due to those additional seasons /2

I’ve been promoted to a staff writer, co-developed an Expanse web series (#TheExpanseOneShip) and just this week(!) was nominated for a Writers Guild Award for said series. I’ve also made some great friends from the show and look forward to working with them again soon. /3

So thank you, to @narenshankar, and @liberalhamlet for giving me a shot in season 3, @JamesSACorey and @AbrahamHanover for creating such an epic story, @DameJules and @weschatham for co-writing The Expanse X-rays, and to the cast and crew for helping bring this story to life. /4

And to our Screaming Firehawks: thank you, merci, obrigado, danke, and taki taki for journeying along with us all these seasons. It’s been a beautiful ride. Yam seng. 🥃🚀 /fin
