Celeste focuses on writing one-hour dramas that explore flawed characters whose misbehaviors are driven by deep psychological issues. Her work concentrates on revealing a character’s personal struggle to rectify shame, survivor’s guilt, and the dark secrets that come with family dysfunction. Celeste’s goal in all of her writing is to open a window onto the experiences of the marginalized and socially excluded. She does this through creating imperfect protagonists whose desire is to help the disenfranchised attain their dreams, while building a better world.
Celeste holds an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In addition to her ELEMENTARY credit, she has two “Story By” credits on a syndicated TV show ANDROMEDA.
Celeste is currently repped by manager Jeff Field. When not writing, Celeste serves as a sounding-board for her professional TV writer husband of 23 years and gets her life lovingly focus-grouped by her canine fur-baby, Baxter.
