During her time with Spelling, she worked on shows like 90210 and Melrose Place, moving on years later to become Vice President of Current Programming at CBS Paramount Network Television. In 2007, she left Tinseltown’s lustrious world behind and established her own consultancy for aspiring writers, mentoring them on how to dig deep, find their truth and put it into words.
