About Marissa

I am a published author of two young adult novels, Code Blue and Code Red. I works part time as a palliative care physician. I believe in the power of storytelling in all forms to entertain, to educate and to build bridges. I have experience writing both feature length as well as short screenplays. My first feature screenplay is currently optioned and I won first prize in The Film Fund contest 11/21 and my short is in post-production. I am comfortable writing in all genres except horror.
