Hello everyone! I'm an actress from Chicago, heavily trained in theatre, but working primarily in film/television and commercials. I've just recently started putting my writing degree to use and penned my first screenplay for a pilot episode of a female centric sitcom, tackling your typical, everyday situations as well as focusing on what my generation can do for the community. Putting it all together has been one heck of a ride! Honestly, writing was the easy part, but the closer we get to shooting (next month), the more hats I have to don. Actress, Writer, Co-Producer, Casting... I won't lie, it feels amazing to be able to bring something like this to fruition with a team primarily made up of strong women. I'm really hoping some of our pitch meetings will work out and I look forward to connecting with all of you!

Thank you, Pamela! I'm hopeful! I've tried to break stereotypes, the cast is made up of a lot of minorities so it's diverse, and it features strong female characters trying to better their community while also dealing with their own personal and social lives. All I can do now is hope someone else believes in it as much as my team and I do. :)
