"I'm a professional screenwriter, producer, and published author with over a decade of experience in the film and television industry—and a deep passion for storytelling in all its forms. My latest feature film, "I'm Beginning to See the Light", featuring an all-star cast, premiered theatrically and on VOD in Spring 2025, with international sales at the Cannes Market. I've worked with clients such as Netflix ("Wednesday" promo campaign), Disney ("The Descendants" short film), LG, Exxon, SZA, and Busta Rhymes—developing, writing, and producing compelling visual stories. Before producing, I worked in distribution, bringing over 60 titles to market and attending every major international festival. I'm also an award-winning screenwriter, a published author, and a film critic / voting CCA member—so I understand storytelling from multiple professional angles.

What I Offer as a Tutor:

Screenwriting (shorts, features, pilot scripts)

Creative Writing (fiction, nonfiction, essays)

College Application Essays (especially for creative programs)

Film School Personal Statements & Portfolios

Whether you're a beginner or aspiring professional, I’ll help you structure your ideas, refine your voice, and elevate your work. My guidance is practical, encouraging, and always tailored to your goals. I began teaching as a volunteer tutor at the Jewish Vocational Center while attending Emerson College, working with adult immigrants—an experience close to my heart as an immigrant myself. Since then, I’ve taught middle schoolers at KIPP Sol Academy, led after-school programs in the CNCA district, and mentored young creatives aiming for college or film careers. I break down complex writing concepts—plot, dialogue, pacing, tone—into clear, actionable steps and offer feedback grounded in real-world industry experience. Whether you're crafting a screenplay, writing a story, or preparing an application, I’ll help you reach your goals." less...
