With a Master's degree from TAI School, and having taught two courses there since 2024, I now offer one-on-one tutoring to help you improve your writing and let your ideas take flight. And all in English. As an American with real-world Hollywood production experience (on films like The Neon Demon and the Oscar-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), I bring not only a solid foundation in narrative and storytelling, but also practical insight into how your writing influences production, performance, and even financing.

Having lived in Spain for almost a decade has given me a global perspective on film and a deep understanding of international and cultural narrative paradigms. With three short films screened at international festivals (and a fourth premiering this year), I can confidently guide you toward stronger, clearer, and producible writing that stands out and, hopefully, comes to fruition. Not confident in your English? No problem! With extensive experience teaching the language, I'll also help you with translation (from Spanish, of course) so your writing style becomes more fluid and natural.
