About Me

I feel blessed beyond belief that I get to do what I love every day for a job...to be living the life I always hoped I would. When I was a little girl, with ice crystals forming in my hair as I waited at the bus stop before the sun came up, I said to myself, "Some day when I grow up, I'm going to be a writer -- and I'll be able to wake up whenever I want and never see the dark side of dawn again!" I'm happy to say, I haven't let her down:)

Goal

My goal is to love and to be loved, to be happy and make others happy. To remember to really live, every moment of every day.
And to win an Oscar. And to buy a house next to Oprah in Santa Barbara. And I want the guest house filled only with shoes. And I hope to genetically modify chocolate to be the miracle cure for all sickness in the world. And finally, I hope to invent a portable device that translates dog barks to English.

The dark side of dawn, not bad!
Keep writing, all of your dreams will come true, except for the chocolate

I've worked on 30 Rock and Tina Fey is one of the best comedy writersin the game. I'm inspired to do work that sets the bar higher but won't fall into the usual buffoonery.Best of luck.
