She was previously staffed on Disney Channel’s Gabby Duran & the Unsittables, and Disney Junior’s Robogobo, and was most recently a Story Editor on Disney Channel’s Bunk’d: Learning the Ropes. Annie has written over two dozen episodes of animated television, developed an adult animated project with Hulu, and is a fellow of the inaugural WarnerMedia Access Writers Program. She is currently available for staffing and freelance.

Outside of tv writing, Annie writes and illustrates socially conscious comics + books, which she exhibits at indie publishing events across California (webstore here).
