“HA! Comedy is my middle name! I’ve written and/or performed comedy my entire life: sketches, improv, plays, fiction, radio, theater, TV, film, and even stand-up – and I love teaching it all to the next generation! After getting my B.A. in Radio/TV/Film Communications from Biola University and completing Screenwriting and Directing Workshops at the American Film Institute (AFI), I briefly worked in TV sitcoms, wrote and directed comedic short films and an independent feature, and published two YA novels — CARPE DIEM and NEVER SORRY, EVER JOLLY. I did this while church planting in Hollywood, overseeing international mission trips, and offering an ongoing women’s ministry in So Cal with my sister, Danica.

“But one of the most creative things I’ve done in my life was marry my Biola boyfriend, J.C.Cornwell, over thirty years ago and raise two amazing kids – Dexter and Clementine, who crack me up on a daily basis! We jumped into homeschooling in 2020 and God nudged us towards FUNdamentals a year later. Now Clementine is in her sophomore year of high school, while Dexter is a freshman attending Biola University. J.C. works in Animation at Dreamworks and teaches adjunct at Biola University’s Snyder School of Cinema Arts. We’re a creative family, who found a good fit with homeschooling, since it allowed us to produce artistic content and travel, thanks to a flexible schedule. Lots of time to risk and fail and create content for my comedy!”
