| Location | New York, NY |
| Introduction | I am dedicated to telling stories that promote universal themes. While my writing tends to be rooted in an urban Chicago, Puerto Rican female perspective, my characters could be from any city, state or ethnicity in America. The characters I write are real, relatable, and relevant. You could sit down and have coffee with them. My body of work balances comedy and tragedy, and at the core, my stories are about personal growth. I strive to be a working screenwriter for major motion pictures and creating one-hour dramas for television. I have a deep respect and love for the magic of filmmaking, from a budding idea to the finished product. I look forward to taking part in it! |
