Embarking on a screenwriting voyage over two decades ago, I've seen scripts of mine embraced with options and one tantalizingly close to production. Yet, I sought refuge in the culinary arts as Hollywood's tides turned towards a monochrome future (think endless MATRIX marathons). My pen, once devoted to crafting narratives, now conjured flavors, leading me to helm multiple cooking blogs, savor victory at The World Food Championships, and grace the pages of "Taste of Home" and "Country Woman."
Journalism beckoned next, with "The Southlake Tablet" featuring my byline, followed by an invitation from Chef Anthony Lagana to infuse words with taste for "Menu Innovator." I'm the creative force seasoning the chef's Spicelopedia line with innovative recipes.
The pandemic's solitude rekindled my passion for screenwriting, birthing new works ripe for sharing. My quill now dances to the rhythm of sophisticated, observational romantic comedies laced with enigmatic twists—including a rom-com/mystery miniseries. Championing roles for the seasoned actress, I challenge ageism's narrative, empowering young women to chase their dreams, undeterred by the ticking clock.
Envisioning a future where I, in my sixties, redefine the rom-com landscape, I aim to ignite a spark in others to transcend the ephemeral digital footprint and etch indelible marks upon the world.
With over twenty years of molding minds in staff development, armed with a master's degree in management and expertise in personality typing, I blend a rich tapestry of skills. Away from the script and spice, I cherish cruising the open seas and revel in the joys of being a Golden retriever's mom.
