I've wanted to write for a living since second grade when I started writing poetry and I'm fortunate to live out my childhood dreams. An award-winning journalist for 21 years, I started freelancing in 2010. After winning a contest, my debut novel, Malcolm and Me, was published in 2020 to glowing reviews. My screenplays have led to two residencies and I currently serve as director of the Virginia Screenwriters Forum. I am currently writing a pilot based on my debut novel. I will soon direct my second short film that I co-wrote with my husband.
