For your consideration...
As you can see, I've gathered here a selection of a few favorite projects I've written over the past few years. Original television pilots, webseries, short films, and feature films are all represented. As a note, I like pointing out upfront with all of my works how dedicated I am to bringing diversity to Hollywood. Even if the descriptions of these scripts don't mention the main characters' races or sexualities, the majority of my stories feature non-straight women of color in the main role(s). Thank you again for considering the following projects!
ORIGINAL TELEVISION PILOTS

SHORT SCRIPTS
Vampire Academy: the Officially Unofficial Fan Series (Web Series)
How far would you go to save your best friend? For Rose Hathaway, it's ride or die - literally.
ROSE HATHAWAY is a dhampir, a half-human, half-vampire hybrid whose life mission is to protect the moroi (mortal vampires). In particular, Rose has sworn her life to protect her best friend, Lissa, who she's known all her life. After being on the run from their school-a special academy for moroi and dhampirs-for over a year, Rose and Lissa are dragged back into the dangerous and terrifying world of high school. Only drama queens and bad boys, Rose suspects, might not be the most dangerous things lurking inside the gates of St. Vladimir's Academy. With the help of Lissa's new official guardian, Dimitri, Rose struggles to protect Lissa from unknown and powerful forces. This fan project is based on the Vampire Academy book series by Richelle Mead.

A young girl disappears into her favorite book. Literally.
A thirteen-year-old foster child named ROSEMARIE goes on an unexpected adventure when the characters from her favorite book come to life right before her eyes. What she doesn't realize is that, as a symptom of withdrawal from the medication she's been on all her life, Rose isn't just imagining the book's world. She's hallucinating it vividly, and truly believes herself to be traveling through it. Back in reality, her social worker, Emeraude, and Em's husband, David, are tasked with bringing the wandering child back from the cold, stormy Autumn evening outside before she passes the point of no return.

FEATURE FILMS
These Violent Delights (Feature Length)
A young assassin's life falls to pieces when she discovers the truth behind her father's death.
LILAC REDEN hates her name. It only serves as a reminder of the sins committed by her traitorous father against the man she perceives to be the rightful king of France. She much prefers her professional name: Lethe of the Underworlds, one of the five River Lords Assassins. Reden has been comfortable in the years since her father's death, killing other traitors for the crown, righting the wrongs her father wrought against the nation. Only, what happens when she realizes that her father wasn't a traitor, but a true patriot? What happens when she realizes that the traitor might just be the King – and, by association, Reden herself.

Parker & Barrow
A couple lives life on the run as a modern-day Bonnie & Clyde after they are framed for murder.
JESSIE PARKER isn't normal. Unlike so many protagonists in the dated books she borrows time and time again from the library in her town, she's never pretended to be normal. Stuck, perhaps, in the small town she's never been out of, but never normal. Never the kind to stay quiet or do as she's told. But, when she gets caught in the middle of a conspiracy and is framed for the murder of her best friend, all Jessie wishes for is the calm, boring life she lived before. Instead, life hands her every bad card in the deck and sends her on a one-way trip to infamy, along with her new friend DeShawn Barrow. What awaits them at the trail's end?
