About Georgette

After a forty-year career teaching middle school in Los Angeles, Georgette embraced a new career in screenwriting. Her great grandfather was a scribe so, writing is in her blood. She is a multi award-winning screenwriter with ten scripts across multiple genres that have all earned awards. She is also a published author of a Health Education workbook. When not writing, she volunteers with Los Angeles Animal Services helping animals get adopted and at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center delivering flowers to patients. Her goal is to see her name on screen. And of course, her dream is to accept an Oscar for Best Screenwriter.
