Paola Villegas Soruco is a Bolivian-born drama writer who gave up her lifelong pursuit of medical school to write screenplays. She moved from a hectic E.R. in Virginia to the AFI Conservatory's MFA Program in Screenwriting in Los Angeles. Paola was a writers' and showrunner's assistant on Narcos and worked in development at Gaumont and Blumhouse before joining the Disney/ABC family, where she was a staff writer on the second season of Stumptown (ABC). Paola has always loved the power of the written word, which she uses as a shield and sword to tell stories that focus on the resilience of the human spirit across a variety of genres.
