ABOUT

Kendall is an Emmy-nominated television writer whose work consists of dozens of produced scripts, spanning multiple genres, including series for Disney, Netflix, Nickelodeon, and HBO Max. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Kendall fled life on the prairie to study Animation and Children’s Media at NYU Tisch School of the Arts before heading west to begin her career in Los Angeles. She spent a few years in Production Management at DreamWorks Feature Animation, then transitioned to writing full time as a Staff Writer on The Lion Guard at Disney, a job she’d been preparing for her whole life.* After her time in the Pride Lands, Kendall was a Staff Writer on the Disney series The Rocketeer and later Little Ellen at Warner Bros. More recently, she was Story Editor on Barbie: It Takes Two at Mattel and is currently Story Editor on HexVet at Nickelodeon. Kendall is passionate about telling inclusive stories that inspire kids to make positive changes in their world and is a big fan of musicals, horseback riding, and breakfast for dinner.

Kendall is also the host of Typin’ Toons, a podcast that explores the craft and career of writing for animation. Throughout her career, she’s been beyond fortunate to learn from some of the best and hopes this podcast can be a small way of paying that forward. You can find out more about Typin’ Toons here.
