Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I've lived in Los Angeles since 1994. I spent (too) many years working as an assistant and am now familiar with every single job title in Hollywood.
Despite what you’ve heard, I was a good assistant, well known for yelling at bosses, stealing food out of conference rooms, having long-winded conversations while on mute, and helping other assistants cover their asses. One screw up no one discovered was the time I set up a huge client meeting only to realize that I forgot to tell the client.
I have a master’s degree in Media Studies from Syracuse University which is totally worthless, but useful in holding over people’s heads. In real life I'm a freelance writer covering television and new media, and a content writer/content manager at Booeep.com.
Despite my sarcasm and overall bad attitude, I'm a very nice person. Really.
