About Me

I’m a screenwriter and storyteller who builds entire worlds from scratch—each one rooted in empathy, emotional truth, and imagination. As someone who is neurodivergent (CPTSD, ADHD, and autism), I bring a distinct perspective and resilience to my work. I’ve spent years navigating life’s complexities, and now channel those experiences into creating stories that uplift, resonate, and connect. At 43, I’m proud to say I’ve found my voice—and I use it to remind others that no matter where you’ve been, there’s always a place for you in a good story.
