Proud transgender creator born in Illinois, I’ve been telling elaborate stories since before I could spell. I got my start in independent animation and self-published comics, later studying stage writing at Second City in Chicago and television writing at UCB in Los Angeles. But the truest teachers have always been the television set, the movie theater, and life.
