Brittany Cope graduated from Otterbein University with a BFA in Acting and a minor in Dance but pursued a career in television development instead of acting. She worked her way up from a casting assistant to her current role as Coordinator of Comedy Development at Disney/ABC Television Group. In her job, she helps develop new comedy shows from initial pitches to their premier on TV. Cope's training and experience as an acting major prepared her well to relate to actors, writers, and directors. While she enjoys her current work, she hopes to eventually work at a smaller production company and explore development for digital outlets.
