I'm passionate about

Free snacks. Odds are extremely high that as you read this, I am at an event with a free snack station stuffing fancy granola bars and dried fruit into my backpack.

An idea worth spreading

People like you more if you laugh at yourself and are a mess sometimes. It's relatable!

Areas of expertise

Comedy, Education, Podcasts, Television writing

Things you might not know

Making it seem like I understand what is happening by nodding and saying “Yes! Absolutely!” while actually having no idea what is going on. I will be deploying this skill in multiple conversations over the course of this week.
