Jesenia Ruiz
DIRECT MESSAGE WRITER
Growing up a mixed-race tomboy raised by a poor single mother in the Midwest, Jesenia Ruiz knows what it’s like to be caught between cultures -- white and Latinx, masculine and feminine, rich and poor, privilege and oppression -- and wrestles with ideas of gender, diaspora, and identity in her work. Currently a Writers’ Assistant on Queen of the South, Ruiz was a Story Editor on Good Witch and has also written three Lifetime Network thrillers. Ruiz is a graduate of USC’s MFA in Screenwriting Program and two NHMC TV Writers’ fellowships.
