Bio
As a Screenwriter, I have completed eight feature screenplays, three short scripts and seven TV pilots. As I woman, I have remained relatively sane over the years, which is not easy in sunny CA. I am convinced there are people set on the earth with the sole purpose to drive me crazy! I first started writing at the age of 16. I stopped after my ex boyfriend laughed hysterically at what I was trying to do. I didn't write again for another three years or so. I feel in love with the art and effort that goes into telling a good story and I have been hooked ever since. I wrote my first thriller during the LA Riots. I was in the center of all that chaos; confused and pissed off. Currently, I'm working on my first book, "Pink Papers." Each feature script I wrote is an innovative story that demonstrates my abilities to confront different genres, as well as my passion to write. Though have not sold a script, I refuse to give up on my dream to become a working Writer/Director. I have learned to handle rejection with a grain of salt and accompanied by the occasional WTF?! I can laugh at my mistakes...the laughter usually comes after a good cry and a decent glass of wine.
