I have been lying since I can remember. 

 

Okay, not technically lying. But I've always loved a good story.  And I could always tell them, too. Even when I was young, people would laugh at me and this made me happy. I could play with strings for hours. I would sit and play with toys, making different voices for each one, only to look up and see my staring, worried parents. But as I grew up it became very clear to me what I wanted to do: Entertain people. 

And through advertising I've been able to do just that. Yep, I've made several companies a lot of money, but I've also loved coming up with the creative that allowed them to do so. And more than that, I get to tell some amazing stories through them. And stories, after all, are what life’s all about.

 My parents? Yep, they’re still worried.

If there is any spare time I love to draw and paint, and create my own stories . I also love screenwriting, with the first documentary I’ve worked on being the Official Selection last year at the Orlando Film Festival. In Woman In Motion (directed by Todd Thompson) I helped cowrite and tell the story of Nichelle Nichols (Uhura from Star Trek) and her integral-yet-mostly-unknown role in helping to develop the space shuttle program with NASA. So far the film has also been the Official Selection at the Florida Film Festival and the American Documentary and Animation Film Festival, plus saw opening night at the San Francisco Indiefest.

I also love to cook. Especially barbecue.
