I can’t help but get excited that my pilot, “The Resurrected,” made the Finals of The Breakk Screenplay Competition! Not only does the winner get to join this fab retreat of industry professionals in Palm Springs (expenses paid!), but The Breakk was founded by agent Karen Kirkland (formerly of Abrams Artists Agency) who recently co-founded Culture Creative Entertainment, a WGA signatory that is stepping up and proving its support of writers at this important time.
Contest: Finalist in the We Screenplay Diverse Voices Lab 2019
As I expand into TV writing, I’m tackling new and exciting territory, and fresh opportunities are opening up. Recently, my one-hour, pilot teleplay, “The Resurrected,” was selected as a Finalist (Top 5%) in the WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Lab 2019! I’m super-grateful for the selection and hope to gain even more traction with this new script.

Writing: Selected as a Women in Film TV Writer Mentee
I’m very excited to announce I was accepted into the Women In Film Mentoring Program in the TV Writer Circle! Our mentors will be Monica Owusu-Breen (Showrunner) and Pat Quinn (Agent).
Since moving to LA, I've been pivoting to TV writing and I'm confident this mentorship will go a long way toward helping me cultivate new and rewarding relationships with my fellow mentees and our industry mentors.
I believe strongly in women working together in Hollywood to move our culture forward and the Women in Film mission really speaks to me:
“Women In Film advocates for and advances the careers of women working in the screen industries – to achieve parity and transform culture.” (read the full mission)
Thank you, WIF, I’m truly honored!
