How I Got Here

I’ve worked in museums, nonprofits, and cultural organizations, but I’ve always found myself coming back to story—particularly stories about love, identity, family, and finding where you belong. I hold an undergraduate degree in English from Spelman College, a masters degree in Cultural Studies from the University of Washington Bothell, and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing (Screenwriting) from Goddard College. I’ve taught storytelling to students, emerging writers, and fellow dreamers all over the world. My screenplays have won at the Austin Film Festival, and have been recognized as Finalists for the Humanitas David and Lynn Angell College Comedy Award as well as the Screencraft Family Screenplay Competition. I’ve built stories from the ground up, workshopped them to death, and finally watched them come to life on screen. I know how vulnerable and overwhelming it can feel and I also know how beautiful it is when it clicks.
