About Me

​

I'm a life-long resident of New Jersey - born and raised in Bergen County, I lived in Jersey City for many years.  I now live in Ocean County with my husband, Carlo Fiorletta, and our cats.

 

I attended Brown University in Providence, RI and graduated from the New School in Manhattan with a degree in Media Studies and Film and a concentration in screenwriting.

​

I've written and produced two indie features: Surviving Family and DETOURS. You can read more about them HERE.  Both movies have won plaudits from actors, directors, the casting director, and critics for featuring complex and believable characters.

​

My next movie will be Alison, which is based on a true story.  I wrote the screenplay and am one of the producers. Here's the logline: 

​

"A mom struggles to find help for her schizophrenic and autistic teenage daughter while her husband battles to keep the family from being evicted, until life takes a catastrophic turn."
