I am an experienced newspaper journalist who also writes screenplays. I have a master's degree in digital journalism from Syracuse University and have taught both journalism and communications courses at the college level. I was a journalist for 20-plus years. I am also adept in AP, APA, MLA and Chicago formatting styles. My feature screenplays have placed in the top 20 percent of the Austin Film Festival and PAGE International. I am also a reader for different local and international screen contests.
