I would describe myself as a minimalist on the outside, Liberace on the inside. I’m originally from the majestic state of New Jersey, and after many years of living in the city, I’m delighted to be living there again.

Top Influences: Maggie Nelson. Liz Lemon. My father’s obsession with history + genealogy. My mother’s profound empathy. My husband’s ability to live his life with unapologetic joy.

Dresses like: the sartorial love child of Kramer + Elaine.

Educational Background: Born nerd. Dual major at NYU in History and Cinema Studies, where I also did a lot of non-fiction writing and ran the theater group for non-theater majors. Interdisciplinary arts MFA in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Second City and iO-trained in improv; I’m a proud no-drama theater kid.

Favorite Films: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Birdcage, Moonstruck

Favorite Book: Still Life with Oysters and Lemon by the poet Mark Doty

TV Shows that make me weep almost every time: Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Chef’s Table
