Scripts/Writing
Ever since I was a kid... I always had a passion for storytelling; from the small screen to the big screen, from the written word to an oral recount -any form of escapism that will enable me to laugh, cry or think is always appreciated. I have included two sections below: one is in regards to either complete screenplays or scripts in development, and the other is a link to my writing portfolio that recaps other types of writing assignments, which I have been hired for (blogging, website content creation, etc.).
