Veronica Carrel

As a writer I want to tell stories about strong, amazing, intelligent woman. I want to create deep, complex characters and push against social norms. I am an artist, mother, wife, friend, mentor, and student. I always strive to push myself out of my comfort zone. Whether it is starting my own business or helping a friend start their own, teaching someone how to throw on a pottery wheel, or just simply listening, I feel best about what I do when I see that it helps others. I believe that the arts are a window to the soul and one where we can still feel the awe and wonder we felt as children. My mentor Paul "Palul" Rideout believed that teaching was the truest method for eternal life. His philosophy was about passing on knowledge. He believes watching a student grow was life's greatest gift. Palul's wonderful energy has taught me so much and his aide in my growth has given me the confidence to follow my passion. My education is on going and I am currently enrolled at National University working on my MFA in Professional Screenwriting. Thank you for your time and consideration.
