Hello there! My name is Diara (Dee-Air-Uhh) I write and produce content for some of your favorite TV shows!

I aspire to create my own Emmy award winning TV comedy series in the near future. I love watching and discussing TV/Film, writing poetry, going on adventures, making people laugh, eating Mexican food and playing with my dog, Queso! (Yes, my dog is in fact named after my love for cheese.)

 Scroll below to learn more or explore the tabs to check out some of my recent work. Let’s connect on your creative goals and content, writing or even just to chat!

Have a great day!!
