I'm a director and screenwriter whose films and screenplays have won in awards at international fim festivals.  While finishing my bachelor's degree at  Brown University, my best friend encouraged me to use my creativity, wit and humor to write screenplays.  My  comedy is influenced by In Living Color, the Wayans brothers,  El Chavo del Ocho and MAD TV.  My  feature drama , Perseverance, won Best Screenplay in  Atlanta's  Peachtree Village International Film Festival screenplay competition.

 

My directorial debut was in "Top Notch", a film I  wrote , directed and produced.  It screened at 25 film festivals  and won Best Comedy, Best Director and Best Producer.  My  film, Shenanigans, won Best Comedy at the City of Angels Women’s Film Festival  and at  the Indian Film Festival Cincinnati .  It was an official selection at the 17th Peachtree Village International Film Festival in Atlanta.  I wrote, produced and directed Shenanigans.   

​

I wrote, produced and directed I Am Still Here, a short drama about an elderly woman in a nursing home who eagerly awaits a visit from her daughter.  I wrote this film to humanize the elderly who’ve often become invisible and forgotten in this society. This film won Best Humanitarian award at the  Georgia Latino International Film Festival in Atlanta.

 

 I write diverse characters that capture the voices and experiences of those who have been exploited and silenced. My goal is to continue to write powerful stories that will impact others and bring messages of  hope.
