I worked for over a decade in acting, casting, directing, and coaching actors. I have had several years of method acting and am a SAG actress. I've been an assistant to a casting director, as well as casting my own short films. I was an established and well-respected acting coach in the State of Florida and had positive working relationships with other casting directors and talent agencies. I've also worked locally as a script consultant in the past.
Regarding my writing career - it is just beginning although I've been writing for years. I've written 3 screenplays, one of which is a limited series. I've gone to festivals and attended workshops such as Robert McKee's Story. I've pitched. I've made pitch decks. I've got synopses. I've done my due diligence as far as homework and paying close attention.
