New, upcoming scriptwriter Maggie N. Razavi wanted to be a storyteller for as long as she can remember. It is a craft she honed in her early years and went as far as completing a creative degree, which focused on filmmaking and scriptwriting. She also attended the Actor’s Temple in London, studying the Meisner technique, after university. However, she changed gears afterwards and decided to pursue a career in financial services. While she enjoyed this career in parts, it was never quite the right fit and she found herself longing for a career in writing.  In 2020, she decided to step away from that world and fully embrace the creative arts. 

“While there are times that I wish I had not pivoted following my degree, it is my belief that my life experience thus far has given me the ability to tell compelling and relatable stories.  These stories don’t just come from my personal experience as the daughter of a middle eastern/minority immigrant who has had to adapt to a foreign land – but also from those around me, who often feel that their voices are unheard.”
