About Marta


Marta “Missy M” Jorgensen is many things, a sort of “Jill of All Trades” for the creative arts. Born and raised in 1950’s New Jersey, the self-proclaimed urban storyteller left the Garden State for the sunny shores of CA.
After a 28-year nursing career, she owned and operated Point and Click Media School, a computer training facility. Using only her own money and perseverance, Marta also ran a successful Democratic Primary campaign in 2008, becoming a Congressional Nominee in the CA CD 24.

Marta currently owns and operates MJAM Music. She has written and pitched several movie projects in Hollywood, as well as written and recorded songs that have made it to radio under her alias Missy M. Some of her screenplays include “Young Leonardo”. TV series, “Homeworld:” explores a new twist on familiar sci-fi themes. Her keen interest in media, politics, and social commentary have inspired her latest comedic musical, “Tabloid,”, which pokes fun at the media. The play has already received favorable reviews. Kerr Lockhart writes, “TABLOID by Marta Jorgensen is a mad, extravagant CANDIDE- in- reverse carnival, ... If you find THE SIMPSONS too subtle, JERRY SPRINGER too polite, and the SUN too fancy and elegant, you will be right at home in the world of TABLOID.”

Marta holds an Associate of Arts Degree in Theater Arts: Writing and Production with a minor in Music from Santa Barbara City College. She also has a certificate in Film and Television Writing from UCLA. When not writing, you can find the writer restoring cars, cooking, or building things.

Unique traits: East coast accent
