About Me
An attorney by day and a storyteller by night, I love writing scripts and stories inspired by everyday life. My first venture into storytelling was writing plays for local nonprofit organizations to use for fundraisers. In 2022, I decided to go beyond the small local stage and try my hand at writing movie scripts. I joined Story Summit, the Writer's Program founded by acclaimed writer & producer David Kirkpatrick in 2022. With the help of the fabulous Story Summit instructors, I completed my first holiday rom com script in 2023. I am currently working on a Women's Fiction Book under the mentorship of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Julie Cantrell.
