Writer Statement

Being such a creative person with limitations on an outlet is hard, but I think writing changed all of that for me. During the pandemic, it was one of my few escapes when I felt that I couldn't get out of the house. I'm truly grateful to have been able to improve my writing skills and teaching myself how to screenwrite.
