She is particularly drawn to contemporary storylines. She is always on the hunt for strong voices and imperfect characters. She wants honest, sincere, and emotionally raw characters, holding nothing back. She is looking for modern ideas with social issues to contemplate, complex family dynamics to digest, and people’s lives to dig into for a moment while she reevaluates her own.
