Prior to my current Screenwriting career, I worked in Journalism for more than 25 years. I graduated from UCSD earning high honors in Literature & Writing and immediately landed a job as a Reporter for the Rancho Bernardo Journal, then the Vista Morning Press newspapers. My work caught the attention of editors at the Associated Press in San Diego, and they hired me as a Freelance or Contract Reporter to cover courts, local government, politics, crime, and general assignment news. I also worked as a Staff Reporter for the County News Service and San Diego News Source, and became known for always meeting deadlines while maintaining a cheerful attitude which made me a valued team member. My work for broadcast media clients paid off when I got recruited first by KSDO-AM, then by Metro Networks and Shadow Broadcasting where I worked as an On-Air Anchor, Producer, Reporter and Executive Producer. Media clients included newspapers, magazines, Internet, radio and television affiliates, wire services and independent news sources. I worked briefly as the Weekend Assignment Editor for CBS in Las Vegas, and then was recruited by Oscar Goodman (Democrat) to work as his Press Secretary during the 1999 Las Vegas mayoral campaign. I also served as the Volunteer Press Secretary for the 1992 Susan Golding (Republican) for San Diego mayor campaign. Both candidates won their highly controversial campaigns and served two successful terms in office. When I wasn't working in news, I worked side jobs as a public relations, marketing and communications consultant . I also volunteered to handle the Publicity for charities such as Crime Victims Fund; Share Our Strength, Taste of the Nation; and Sail American Foundation I wrote an Astrological column and articles for newspapers and magazines. Specialties Screenwriting for TV and Films. In the past, I was best known for covering politics, state and federal courts, elections, crime and murder trials. When I felt "burned out," I'd strike a balance by writing Entertainment Reviews. I still enjoy helping people and causes with my public relations, marketing and communications skills by getting their message across, building an image or simply getting media attention and air-time.
