MFA in Screenwriting

Hometown: Roselle, IL

Undergrad Degree: Carthage College, Communications & Digital Media, Theatre Production: Lighting & Sound

Hello, I'm Colleen. I'm a full-time graduate student in DePaul's MFA in Screenwriting Program in the standard concentration. I loved to write stories from a young age and always had a passion for adventure films like Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in my 20s, I truly realized life is too short and that I need to pursue what makes me tick sooner rather than later. And now I am making writing my career. DePaul's screenwriting program has been inspiring, challenging, and extremely motivating in reaching those career goals. Even balancing everything while working full-time! Feel free to reach out with any inquiries, I would love to hear about your journey and share my experience with you!
