From a very young age I was glued I front of the television.  Not in a "mom and dad are busy sit here and watch" but in a " I need to know what is happening with these characters I love" kind of way.  This carried over with movies and literature. I would stay up reading a book a night, heartbroken when the story came to an end.  The love of the characters help create a love of psychology and deep curiosity of human nature.

My goals are to tell story's that are deeply entangled with the emotions of people.  Comedy, tragedy, I want to create characters that people see themselves in and also see people they are not used to.  I want to examine the full range of emotions, disorders, and everything in between.  I want my work to examine people and every day lives, both the mundane and extraordinary.  

When it comes to content I've tended to watch, I've always been drawn to fast paced shows with quirky characters, Gilmore Girls being my all time favorite.  Whether this is because I get bored easily and need a rapid fire pace to keep me interested or I just like it more I'm not sure.  But I do know this has been true since I was young.  I recently found out that my favorite show at age 4 was Ally McBeal, a show my mother tells me that is fast paced and has quirky characters.

If I had to delve deeper into thinking about what I would want to do in television, my long term goals would be to be a Tina Fey or a Mindy Kahling, creating content that I could take part in, having control, and making people laugh.  But at the end of the day, I would grateful to be apart of any part of the story telling process.
