Introduce Yourself : Filipino Nurse-Turned-Wannabe-Screenwriter by Xaviera Iglesias

Xaviera Iglesias

Filipino Nurse-Turned-Wannabe-Screenwriter

Hey everyone! I’m a self-published author and a nurse from Canada. I joined Stage32 to learn more about writing screenplays as I plan to adapt my fantasy novel into one. I was born in the Philippines, and now I’m living in Canada working as a nurse.

Anyways, aside from nursing, I also worked as a commercial model, a production assistant for a beauty pageant, a researcher, and a copywriter. I guess all my experiences have somehow led me to this next chapter in my life, a wanna-be screenwriter. Currently, I’m writing a Filipino rom-com about a dethroned beauty queen who pretty much needs to get off of her high horse.

Here’s to meeting like-minded, creative beings at Stage32 (raises a bottle of ice cold beer)

Maraming Salamat! (Thank you very much in Filipino)

Hi fellow new comer! Your idea sounds fun, and I'd like to point out that you are not a wanna be :)

Xaviera Iglesias

Alexia Austin Hey Alexia! Thanks :) When I'm done with my script, I'll remove the "wanna-be" in my title. Hahahahaha!
