A photo of me in front of James Dean in 2013.
I grew up in southern and northern California. I lived inFlorida briefly as a child when my grandmother was ill, however moved back to the west coast with my mother and grew up a Californian and on the border of Nevada and California and Southern California. My paternal uncle worked with Walt Disney when Walt was alive. As a child and preteen, my uncle and mother exposed me to the film industry. I remember seeing photos of my uncle and Walt Disney when I was a child, however didn’t realize who Walt was when I was a child and why my uncle was so proud to show me those photos. You know, as a kid, I was like, “This is boring. Can we go swimming?”.
I remain close in my heart with Disneyland, Walt Disney films, filmmakers, Burbank, Los Angeles, and of course Hollywood. I will always be an avid old Hollywood film supporter and cherish memories of my uncle showing me “filmland” California when I was a child. I attribute this to my relentless thinking: “Nothing is impossible, while nothing is also quite what it seems.”
I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, focusing on cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and neuropsychology. I’ve also studied french, taken ballet, studied film, and costume design. I’ve earned four college degrees, one in sciences and three in arts. My science degree is in Law. I have a Master’s of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I am a Marilyn Monroe lover based off of women’s public view and my family ties. I’ve written screenplays to help bring back “old Hollywood” based on my great California memories and stories told to me throughout the years. These stories are from family or friends of my grandparents’ generation in Hollywood, as well as the other endeavors humans experienced at that time.
More importantly, I am the mother of two lovely daughters and everything I’ve accomplished I did and do as a single mother to my lovely girls. Additionally, I’m proud to work and advocate in mental health, work on films, and contribute to the art industry.
I’ve worked in mental health as a counselor with teens, children and adults for the government, non-profit agencies, criminal law and human services agencies for close to 15 years.
I took a screenwriting course with James Franco while collaborating with other screenwriters from all over.
I am the author of the series The Poor Royals which is a nonfiction account of my family and old Hollywood- including Marilyn Monroe.
I have a very comedic side of myself and tell jokes from time-to-time. Laughing is golden as long as it’s not at someone’s expense.
Peace.
