I live in a picturesque village in Upstate New York. Before becoming a screenwriter I published a children's picture book and two YA sci-fi novels in a series. I also produced an audio book of my first novel and the children's book using actors in the roles, sfx and music. All have won literary awards. I also have a Master Screenwriting certificate and am a creativity coach.
Since I’m a visual writer, my fiction writing experience as well as roles in film and theater became the springboard for my screenwriting endeavors. I recently completed writing and directing my first short.
My strengths are imagination, characters with heart, dialog and action, world building, animation, and ability to work well with producers and directors. I’ve won several competitions, including the 2016 Writer’s Lab which is funded by Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Oprah Winfrey, 2020 Stowe Story Labs, places in Get It Made, Page Awards and others. I’ve completed two feature screenplay assignments and am in pre-production for a proof-of-concept film with Get It Made and Absurd Hero Productions.
