Bio
I taught high school in Jamaica for a number of years . I have written a number of skits and poems for performances in my native country. Recently I decided to move to Canada to do what I have always wanted to do ,which is writing and creating content for television. I recently completed a diploma in Children’s Media Production at Centennial College. I am now writing scripts for a digital preschool show in development and working on developing my own content.
Intro
I weave tales that capture the imagination through relatable characters who occupy vivid universes. I believe in creating relatable diverse characters, especially for children, that allows them to see themselves reflected on screen.
