About Me


I take life as it comes, one day at a time. There will always be twists and turns, some brambles that will get in your way, but I figure that as long as I have an idea where I am going a path will reveal itself. And if it doesn’t you just whack your way through those branches and make your own path. The measure of a person is not in the circumstances they have found themselves in, but in the grace they have handled it all.
I generally think there is a reason for everything. There are always going to be moments in life when you wonder why certain things had to happen. But it’s been my experience that they are all a part of life’s lessons; you take what you can from them and keep moving forward.
I get bored easily if i’m not working in an environment that is constantly challenging my creative mind. I love that film allows me to express what I feel and also challenge the way I think. There can be so many different sides to a single situation. I hope that one day I can inspire people to channel their emotions into something positive. We all feel the same things but I think that so many people feel alone in their thoughts. It would be amazing to know that one day someone could watch something that I wrote, directed, and/or produced, and feel good knowing that there is someone else who understands.
So far my life in LA has been a very twisty path; lots of leasons learned and experiences to make me smile. But there are always sunny days out here in the land of smoggy blue skies. I am lucky to have found myself surrounded by some amazing friends that inspire me every day.
"Some pass the twilight hours at their tables reading from their Books of Life; others frantically fill it's extra pages with the day's events.""
"In this world, the texture of time happens to be sticky. Portions of towns become stuck in some moment in history and do not get out. So, too, individual people become stuck in some point of their lives and do not get free."

My Interests

Looking at the night sky, obsessing over sunsets, and chasing after shooting stars, flip flops, beaches and smiling at the sun, writing, poetry, getting lost in my thoughts, spending hours in Barnes and Noble looking for a book but finding so many that I want that I don’t buy anything, coffee, riding horses, traveling, walking around cities...preferably foreign cities, Europe, Venetian glass, photography, painting and all sorts of crafties, Amy Brown's art, fun unique little things, fairies, butterflies, hanging white lights on anything I can, shades of pink, blue and purple, Michelangelo, Bernini's fountains, the essence of fall...fall leaves and colors, memories, Christmas, adoring my friends, curling up in my bed, snowflakes and icicles, watching movies, imagining my ideas becoming beautiful films, people that inspire me, smiling, laughing, good conversation, accents, Greece, fire escapes & doors, music with lyrics I can relate to, opals, pilot pens, writing letters ..cute stationary, random things, salad, reading, cooking, swiming in wildflowers, glitter and bubble wrap... Bubble wrap is fun.





You Should Be A Poet
You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways.
And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery...
Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever.
You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem. What Type of Writer Should You Be?

I'd like to meet:

People who inspire me. People with passion.
Drew Barrymore, The Dixie Chicks. Sheryl Crow, JJ Abrams, and Cate Blanchett...I think I would die if I met Cate Blanchett, she's beyond amazing.

I grew up in the South and I was forced to move there so I immediately didn't like anything that had to do with the South, including country music. Well, I wouldn't be a fan anyway, but nonetheless, I...
