I've written for the ACLU, Represent.us and Mayday.us (both campaign finance reform groups), Hillary For America, EMILY's List (PAC), and Funny or Die, among others. Most recently, I was writer and creative consultant on 'Buggin' Out' a web series about entomophagy (eating bugs) and have been a Science Ambassador for the World Science Festival. I've completed the Improv and Sketch programs at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NY, and now both coach improv and direct sketch. I'm currently writing for a live comedy show called Deep Space Live in addition to producing/presenting a mostly-improvised mostly-educational monthly science-comedy show called Oh My Science at Videology, Brooklyn (going on almost 2 years now).
