I am an American published Author searching for a screenwriter for my story. I am also an English Trainer, wife, mother, and I enjoy reading, nature, and all aspects of foreign cultures, including exotic cuisines, cultural history, and language. I have been living in Paris, France since 2016. I've traveled the globe throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Saudi Arabia. I've studied writing at DeAnza College and Stanford and am a member of the California Writers Club South Bay Branch. I grew up in the Boston area. Before Paris, my husband and I lived in Palo Alto, California for 10 years raising our three sons.
