    SPORTS

    I love sports, particularly, basketball and baseball. Sports are almost always on in my house, specifically, the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Nets.

    CREATING

    I love creating. Whether it’s painting or building with Legos. I have too many paintings and Lego sets and not enough square footage.

    GARDING AND PLANTS

    I discovered gardening during the pandemic. At first, I bought a couple of plants for the inside and my backyard, but soon found myself growing plants from seeds. I have 70+ thriving plants that started from seeds inside and outside my house. I’m particularly proud of my Flame Tree bonsai that started from a tiny seed.

    FILM/TV

    I love film and TV. Whether it’s watching a movie or binging a TV show or reading film and TV scripts. I enjoy looking analytically at what I am watching or reading and thinking how I would approach telling the story.

    SCREENWRITING

    I enjoy writing film and TV scripts. I’ve had scripts make the semi-finals and quarter-finals in screenwriting competitions and festivals.
