Hi.

After obtaining an MPH and doing neuroscience research for the US military, I was like “oh this is NOT for me.” Oops.

I now live in Los Angeles, squishing all my queer, multiracial experiences into pieces that will make you laugh like hearing your first fart joke and cry like pretending you can eat Thai-level spice.

I create work that satirizes our obsession with upholding social norms and stereotypes.

Within the past few years, I have written scripts for television, won the SNL Award at the Groundlings, directed a documentary on staff unionizing rock climbing gyms, and played my own father in drag in a touring comedy show. But more about these on my work page - I don’t want to sound too cool at our first meeting…
