Screenwriting

 

Origin story

As a published author, columnist, and screenwriter, Denise breathes life into captivating narratives that inform, inspire, and connect us to something far greater than ourselves.

She made her bones crafting success-driven narratives for Fortune 500 giants including: eBay, Monster, SAP, MetLife, Adobe, and KPMG, while indulging her screenwriting passion on the weekends. Her original screenplays, "Stuck" and "Keep Your Friends Close," are drawn from the well of real-life experiences, further showcasing her ability to capture the complexities of human emotions. But Denise's creativity extends far beyond the page.

An overly competitive family inspired her to create two ingenious games: "Who Said It?" and "Think of the Link." The first, a quote-based game, entertains and enlightens in equal measure, while the second, a trivia-based, common ground challenge, promotes the theme, "we're all connected."

As a professional handwriting analyst, she possesses the uncanny ability to decipher the whispers of the soul hidden within the strokes of a pen. Coupled with her fascination with forensics, she developing, "Writing Their Own Sentences" which features crimes solved via handwriting analysis. Her expertise even graced the pages of STAR Magazine's 2011 Special Edition, where she deciphered the love letters exchanged between Prince William and Kate Middleton, offering a glimpse into their hearts on the cusp of a royal union.

More than just a collection of titles and achievements, Denise's multifaceted talents, boundless creativity, and playful spirit leave a lasting impression on everyone she encounters. Her passion is deeply embedded in the power of imagination, the magic of words, and the joy of connecting with others through the shared language of laughter, insight, and storytelling.
