About Me

I tend to view all experiences, light or heavy, on a deeper level as part of the process of ceaseless transformation. I love to enjoy life and get much of my inspiration from emotional experiences of my own, or people I connect to. I believe the primal act of telling stories is deeply healing both on a personal level, and on a mass level. I believe art can entertain and enlighten, it can be a catalyst for positive change. I enjoy creativity in many other forms as well like photography, drawing, painting, clothing, color.

I have published short stories, magazine articles, and done website writing in various capacities, sometimes specializing in alternative health. I have a masters degree in Professional Writing from USC, and am currently developing a documentary and a screenplay. I also am a Reiki Master, and am very interested in holistic health and spiritual themes encased in quality writing.

Goal

To write. And write. And write some more.

To learn, grow and expand as an artist and human being.

To network, and meet like-minded people for connecting, or potential collaboration.

Your focus in life interests me. Would you be interested (if we get along:-) in a collaborative screenplay effort? I have numerous ideas and am trying to match myself with partners for my best works. I write science fiction but with more ethereal depth then movies like the matrix, star trek, star wars etc. Judging from your profile we both know there's something missing from these creative expressions. Let me know what you think. I'm located in Santa Barbara, Ca
