About Me

I'm named after a (male) baseball player and I don't like baseball. I used to be on a jumprope team and we would travel to local schools and show off, and I think all the kids hated us. When I was in the 4th grade, my mother made me audition for an Oscar Meyer commercial, stating, "They have to take one redhead, why shouldn't it be you?" (Answer: the snaggletooth, giant glasses, and the fact that I was generally a fairly ugly little kid were all good reasons.) I spent hours perfecting a jump rope routine set to "My Bologna has a first name," but it was all for naught -- I didn't make it. (I've been a vegetarian for 7 years now.) I have obsessed over this and other failures my entire life. On the other hand, I feel they've conditioned me for the real world. I just graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Screenwriting from Chapman University in Orange, CA. TIME TO GET FREAKAYYYYYYYYY!
