I'm a proud, enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation and a dual American-French citizen. My TV drama, June Rose: An American Chronicle, and feature film Firebird (in development), are both on The Indigenous List, representing "the best and most promising Native creatives in the film and television industry.” As executive producer/writer, I'm developing The Pistils, a thriller set in the Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma, dramatizing the crisis of MMIWG (Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls). As a working mother, I won Women's and Native American scholarships at San Francisco State University, where I earned my BA/MFA in English/Creative Writing, focusing on Screenwriting, Fiction, and Journalism. I've worked as a paralegal, a legal librarian, a researcher, a waitress, and, for over twenty years, a holistic healer and instructor. My husband and I have two adult children and live in San Francisco, California. I'd love to head a writers room for TV drama June Rose. As exec producer, I plan to shoot The Pistils in Tulsa, OK, in September 2023. https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm8529069/about https://www.sundance.org/blogs/illuminative-the-black-list-sundance-institute-announce-the-second-indigenous-screenwriting-list/
