Websitehttps://imdb.com/name/nm10676672/
I've been a professional writer/journalist since '90, and have worked in newspaper, magazine, radio and television. I started out writing about sports and fitness, moved into public affairs reporting, then nature and environmental programming including creating a multi-media nonprofit on ocean sustainability. My passions are modern dance and ballet, fitness, and travel. I have written several screenplays and have enjoyed courses at UCLA, NYU, and Screenwriting Master Class.
