I received a BFA in Film & Television from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 2012. While at NYU, I focused on screenwriting over other aspects of film. While my passion is comedy TV writing, I am also very interested and experienced in proofreading, short fiction writing, and blogging. I have experience writing and editing manuals for large restaurant chains. (Apparently, I'm not great at writing the "About Me" section on my profile.)
