I love how restaurants work. The energy, the pace, and the idea of working under budgetary restraints reminds me a lot of sets.
I am an English major in school with an emphasis in creative writing. I think hearing Maya Angelou speak at school last year was one of the best moments Stanford, at least, intellectually, had to offer.

Some people look at TV as a means to an end. I look at it as my career – and one I love.
