ABOUT ME
I have over 20 years of experience collaborating with production companies, agencies, their corporate and government clientele, and fellow creatives.
My scripting expertise includes translating complex or dry material into compelling narrative – sometimes dramatic, sometimes humorous, always human.

I began my career when I earned my BFA in Film Production from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. As one of the few women in the program at the time, the experience strengthened my confidence and reinforced my ability to navigate creative and production environments.
JaZzyMaE Media produced a short comedy film that was internationally well-received. Then, as the only registered woman-led scriptwriting business in San Francisco, FatBox Productions hired me to write a security training video script for San Francisco International Airport.
