I am so grateful to have met such a wonderful friend and coach
He helped me identify the specific strengths I bring to the table as a writer, allowing me to present my best and truest self during my interviews. Then, he broke down the entire interview process, making it less intimidating and overwhelming so that I could attack it. Successfully. A few months later, I was accepted into the CBS Writers’ Mentoring Program and my life completely changed. I am so grateful for having met Steve. If he wasn’t coaching me, he was mentoring me. Reminding me that I could do the job. And do it well. One year later, I am currently staffed on my first show, CLARICE for CBS, and to this day I still reach out to Steve. With a million questions of course. And he just smiles and shows me the way. I am so grateful to have met such a wonderful friend and coach.
