Summary
I am a writer, playwright, director, and content creator, who is eager to work on a major production and become a part of the process of storytelling.
I’ve been blessed to have been able to write, direct, and produce plays for my local church. However, I have always wanted to do more, and after watching Jurassic Park directed by Steven Spielberg, I remember thinking, “This is what great storytelling looks like,” and that spark has remained lit and remains lit until I achieve my dream of writing and directing for the big screen.
