A writer most of my life, I realized
early on, my stories were more effectively interpreted and translated using a screenplay format.
A true visionary, I am also one of those unique writers who can take a word, a phrase, a title, or a lyric of a song, see it, expand it, and write an original screenplay about it in different genres. _________________________________________
I am often referred to as a "life coach," I love meeting people, working, laughing, collaborating on fun and exciting projects, and fixing complex situations to make the result amazing!

Why Bandana Girl? I have been wearing bandanas daily since the early 80s; it has been my signature look, and it just became timeless and stuck, so that is how I became Bandana Girl...It just fits!

I have led a tremendously exciting and blessed life and have a beautiful and supportive family. And although I miss him dearly, my husband of over thirty years left me with a lifetime of a million beautiful stories.
I remember in 90' when my first screenplay Timeless Vision was handed directly to the late Gary David Goldberg (Ubu Productions, Family Ties, Spin City, 2x Golden Globe, 2x Emmy, Peabody Award Winner).
FUNNY STORY
How I actually got my screenplay into Gary's hands.
The hard copy of Timeless Vision went from my hands here in Wisconsin, to my ex-husband's hands (who lived in So Cal) to his cousin's (President of A&M Records) hands, to his ex-girlfriend's hands, who worked on one of Gary's sitcoms at Paramount.
A few months later Gary called me from Hawaii while on his honeymoon and we talked for 2 hours!
He said my screenplay was "One of the best first drafts he had ever read," and he couldn't wait to meet with me when he returned from his honeymoon in
about two months.
All the stars were aligned! This 32yr old single mom from Wisconsin was sitting on the moon with a feeling I had never felt before, accomplishment & acknowledgment. Then life happened!
An excellent story for another time, but one thing is for sure, I have no regrets!
I was recently asked a very important question by an Award Winning Hollywood Producer/Director, "What do you envision for your screenplays?"
I thought for a moment and said, "WOW! Did you see this movie? It was so good. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT!"
Success for me would be making a movie that gives you an everlasting FEELING, an imprint that stays in your heart and mind.
