I'm a Film Producer focusing on stories of women breaking free from their quiet desperation. I started a substack called The Creative Soul, I'm excited I didn't kill my plants this year and I launched two kids into college.

I didn’t know that scribbling thoughts at a coffee shop would lead to performing in New York.

But that’s exactly what happened.

Ever wonder how a film producer is born? I'm starting a new series recounting stories of the projects that led me to do what I do now. This first story is how I followed my heart even when I was scared and didn't know what the heck I was doing and began to build the foundation for what I do today.
