My Mission
My mission is to ignite conversations that have long been silenced. As a screenwriter, I wield my craft to delve into the unspoken, to challenge the taboos that shroud stigmatized disabilities and the labyrinth of human relationships. My aspiration is to create characters who are not just real, but who bleed, breathe, and demand to be seen—characters that confront, resonate, and leave an indelible mark on the soul.
MY VISION
All audiences should have access to content that is moving, engaging, and powerful enough to inspire change.
