Sitting in a café in Tel Aviv, indulging in desserts, ice coffee and conversation, life was good. All of a sudden BOOM! Neon lights blew dark, glass showered from all over, and balconies fell. A car full ofexplosives deonated a half a block away. Schirete ran, not away, but wards the explosion, to help, or to tackle the terrorist. She was fearless, something defines her personality.

​

Schirete plays drums, rides motorcyles, and hangs out with a wide variety of people, ranging from CEOs to gangsters. She writes about misunderstood and under-represented people, to bring to light their humanity. She produced documentaries for PBS and won an award for a short news segment about mental illness patients.

​

Schirete studied writing for film and television at Loyola Marymount University, from which she graduated with a BA degree, cum laude. Presently she is writing a miniseries about a Brazilian boy who was sex trafficked, and ended up in the gay porn industry.
