My love of storytelling began at a very young age. I learned to read at the age of four, and started writing stories soon after, winning many Young Authors' Conventions at my elementary school.
My focus then shifted to performing the written words onstage, but I never lost my fondness for storytelling.
In recent years, I have rediscovered by love of writing, and I have had wonderful opportunities to take the page to the screen.
