I created The New Way with the goal of helping my students become the best writers they can be.

 

I began my writing career as an assistant on Everybody Loves Raymond. Afterwards, I wrote for the award winning

Nickelodeon family series, The Brothers Garcia, which led to becoming a finalist for the Disney Fellowship Program.

Various other staffing jobs followed including The Ortegas for FOX. 

​

Soon after I was was developing and pitching my own projects to studios. One of which was a TV project with the

Oscar winning Killer Films attached to produce and Oscar winner, Olivia Colman attached to star.  I've also been

fortunate enough to have had several of my my feature films optioned. 

​

Later it was my delight to write on the reboot for The Brothers Garcia which was entitled The Garcias for Max. 

In the interim I have been fortunate to have been commissioned to write TV movies for Lifetime and Paulist

Productions. 

​

Teaching came into the fold when a writer friend needed a fresh pair of eyes for her script. I found it enjoyable

because I was coming at it from the perspective of knowing what can plague the creative mind. 

 

I've taught at institutions and schools across the country including The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, 

The Westport Writer's Workshop, The Fairfield Writers Workshop, Muhlenberg College, and NYC's, Shelter Studios.

 

It's also been my pleasure to have served as a panelist and judge for The Rhode Island International Film Festival

and The Dusty Awards for School of Visual Arts in New York. 

 

Helping to nurture the strongest script that's within every writer's grasp is its own reward. And one thing rings

true with every writer - no matter what their level...  the struggle with putting the best, most authentic story on

the page. Sometimes, hearing an element of story told a different way is all it takes for a breakthrough.

 

I hope to be that voice for you.
