A bit about me. I'm an Award-winning screenwriter crafting stories from Spain's Costa del Sol, where the sunsets are spectacular and the wifi is... trying its best. From earning my B.A. in Television Writing at Columbia College Chicago to collecting life experiences that could fill several vision boards (think: Second City comedy improv, Meisner Conservatory training, and teaching 6th grade in Hawaii), I found my happiest place writing dramedy with heart- the Mediterranean view doesn't hurt.

My scripts feature quippy dialogue, multicultural characters who don't fit in neat boxes (relatable - as an actor, I was told I was simultaneously 'not ethnic enough' AND 'too ethnic' as a Puerto Rican/Keetoowah Cherokee/Caucasian mix), and the kind of found-family vibes that would make Stars Hollow proud. 2024 has been quite a year - I took two scripts out on the festival circuit and I've collected 7 international festival WINS, Official Selections from Oxford, Cambridge, Berlin, Zurich and Athens, and a handful of competition awards, including the Austin Film Festival. Now I'm channeling that momentum into an Upper MG/YA fantasy novel series while teaching GAP year students how to adult in Spain...and screenwriting.

When not typing away at my latest project, you'll find me beachcombing for treasures with my 8-year-old, husband and 2 pups, hunting for the perfect pumpkin spice latte in Europe (spoiler: my father-in-law from Illinois is now the designated canned pumpkin courier), or explaining to bewildered locals why Christmas decorations in October are completely reasonable.

Fun fact: If my life were a TV show, it'd be Gilmore Girls meets Ted Lasso, but with more chocolate croissants and replace footballers with coaching YAs to find their life’s path- And throw in a little Schitt’s Creek, because let’s be honest- who actually has it all together?
