About me
I'm currently a writer and experienced Production Assistant origianlly from from Oakland, California and reside in Brooklyn. I write for StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson on Nat Geo and Netflix. In my spare time I work as a comedian and have done sets at Dangerfield's and the New York Comedy Club among others. I also write for a podcast called "The Truth" and sold two sketches to the New Yorker Radio Hour. I wrote for the Upright Citizen Brigade’s Maude or House team called, "Pretty Boys.” I worked previously as a production assistant for the tv show "Stossel" on Fox Business Network and as a reporting intern on a nightly spanish speaking news show on Voice of America. So I'm well versed in coordinating with guests, makeup, the control room, the digital team, legal team, and conducting research and pre-interviews. Previously I worked as writer's intern for "Sleepy Hollow" on Fox as well as "Elementary" on CBS. I'm well versed in coverage and editing and running scripts. In college, I served as Head Writer and Senior Correspondent for On Harvard Time, the world's oldest college comedy news show and Humor Editor for the Harvard Political Review. I was a semi-finalist for the Harvardwood Writing Competition, graduated cum laude from Harvard with a concentration in government and english, and once performed a birdcall on the David Letterman showAdditional information:
