ROSA VETRANO is a freelance writer/producer/announcer. She has worked as a television reporter, magazine program host and special events host. Behind the scenes, she was a crime beat and court reporter, and has written, produced and directed special features and independent productions. Her passion for writing also led to the music studio. She was the lyricist, producer and director of music videos for several theme songs for a Telethon, and hosted it as well. In interviews, she quickly puts guests at ease with a genuine love of people and curiosity about life. She produced and directed informative and promotional videos for a local hospital as a member of a volunteer committee working to improve patient care. Creating is a thrill, she says of writing and producing, where "random images and words become real stories." Rosa believes that when unexpected dark moments come along, faith and laughter bring strength and light. One of her favorite adages, "It doesn't matter how many times you fall – only how many times you get back up." Humour plays a big part in her life and her writing. "I believe in love, laughter and chocolate anything!" She loves music, adventure and sports; even jumped out of a plane – twice – for a story on parachuting. But she says doing it again would prove most difficult! She continues to pursue dreams close to her heart; to write more novels, more lyrics, produce a film and find the biggest chocolate bar in the world!
