: About Me

I am an American currently living in England. Everyone always tells me I have an accent, which still weirds me out. I started writing at the age of two, but I was told my writing was too abstract for the general public, so I threw a tantrum and painted on the wall. I was then put into time-out.

Eventually, in kindergarten, I learned how to write using actual letters and since then, I've only gotten taller.

My passion is ...

Theatre

I know too much about ...

non-linear narrative structures.

My parents always told me ...

"If you pick at it, it won't get better."

My childhood ambition ...

An archeologist who solved crime. Or a radio talk show host.

My favorite memory ...

Volcanology trip 2005!

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Lots of scripts, lots of surreal British comedy, and books on tape.

My first job ...

Standardized patient for a medical school.

My best moment ...

going on for my understudy after learning her lines in an hour.

My inspiration ...

Charles Ludlam, who taught me that no subject is sacred.
