I am an award-winning and multi-optioned screenwriter who specialized in high-concept screenplays with a focus on thrillers. Thrillers in the action, horror, and sci-fi vein.
As a focused writer, I can work in other genres such as dramas and biopic screenplays where I have completed paid writing assignments.
I love to take my diverse background and work experience and mix it with my creative skills on any project. I enjoy creating unique characters, playing with the theme, and the end goal of any project. I work well with others in both creative and business situations.
I write strong characters, using subtext and utilizing exciting and different ways to present characters, situations, and dialogue in unique and interesting ways.
I enjoy researching a concept and its target audience. I like to dig deep into a character’s inner world. I approach the story and the situation in a unique and different way. My goal is to keep the audience on the edge of their seat. I like elevating existing material and am happy to develop others’ concepts as well as take on writing assignments.
Background:
While I worked away in the professional world of domestic mutual funds, offshore centers, and Health Care, I always see a story in everything around me. I love living in the Midwest with my husband and two pugs and our cat.
Besides loving to write, I love to read, travel, and cook.
Content:
Why do I write? There are stories in everything around us. I find ideas when I talk with a neighbor, a friend, or a stranger – their mannerism, their livelihood – all become interesting aspects of a story. I like to write screenplays because I want to tell a story that takes a viewer out of their day-to-day and into a new and exciting world – sometimes scary but always thrilling and profound.
