    I am a screenwriter and author with a Bachelors degree from Columbia College Chicago in Writing and Producing for Television. Prior to Columbia I studied Screenwriting at Scottsdale Community College. My writing training include: Feature, 1 hour drama, 30 minute comedy, sketch, blogs, play writing and novels. When writing fiction, my genre's of choice are adult fantasy, romance, and horror. When writing a non-fiction story or short sketch, I balance between comedic, to bring the audience in and informative. When feedback and critique is needed, I do not hold back my thoughts about a project. I deliver feedback in an honest, and timely manner. I will be blunt and direct, without being cruel.
