Finished works (samples available upon request):

STRAYS (Novel) Romance Thriller.  Thea escapes the rural cult-like community in which she was raised to run away to New York City. Upon arriving,  she meets the mysterious, Ivy league-educated Clyde. They soon start their own society modeled after Greek philosophical ideals, but what started as a passionate flame soon becomes an all-encompassing love affair that threatens to smother Thea and burn down the whole city in the process.

CHEMISTRY (Feature) Crime Romance. In the vein of classic 80s movies. Two lost post-grads from opposite sides of the track spend  a night together in a grocery store hiding from malevolent forces. As they spend time together, they realize they are more alike than different and begin to craft a new narrative that might be their only hope of escape.

VALERIA (Pilot) Coming-of-Age Drama. After having a breakdown at her graduation due to the reappearance of her mysteriously disappeared mother, the daughter of a Jeff Bezos-like CEO runs away to the desert to uncover the truth.

BUNNY (Pilot) Coming-of-Age Rom Com script (heavy on the romantic and heavy on the comedy). Bunny is too much. Bunny is unapologetic. Bunny is funny. Bunny is horny. Bunny is ready to get the guy - and rake in the cash in the process. But most of all, Bunny is ready to finally have it all. 

I am interested in the ways which we project our fears and desires onto others, what this says about ourselves, and the confrontation with our own egos which is necessary to find true love.
 
*Fun fact: I've completed 7-8 (yes I've lost track) first drafts of novels since I was 14. I really do love writing!
