WRITER

Objective A seasoned and award-winning screenwriter seeking to leverage my extensive experience in screenplay writing, film production, and storytelling to contribute to creative and innovative projects.

BIO
My brand is hard work, fast work, resilience, unbound creativity and a few well-paced ‘chunkletts’ of humor…scattered about. Genres I excel in are Comedy, Horror and Historical stories. As a member of the Organization of Black Screenwriters, my industry knowledge, story-craft and ability to critique my own work has expanded greatly. I have penned over twenty screenplays and have won numerous awards. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with Grammy nominee RK Jackson (who wrote ‘Finally’, by Cece Peniston) and living legend, Bill Duke. Raised in the same city (Buffalo, N.Y.) that gave birth to larger-than-life figures like Rick James and The Gronk…my personality is playful, yet backed-up with the willingness to put in maximum effort…for spectacular results. In my role as a union steward in previous jobs, I learned the skills to be a peace-maker and supportive team member of any group I collaborate with.
