Intense focus on personal identity drives the stories I write, and characters I create. A clinical neurologist by profession, I have been humbled and awed by the screenwriting community I have joined, and continue to learn, so that my stories will reach an audience. An AFF2019, 2020, and 2022 second rounder. Thank you for reading.
