Women are often pushed into the idea that they write softer, more character-driven jokes.

I did improv at Yale, with the Exit Players. It was great, but they played a little rough.

I do love science. My father is a scientist.

I looked back at some high school journals and discovered that I definitely wanted to be a writer, but not necessarily comedy.

I actually write some pretty tough jokes. I don't want to push the "soft" angle too much.

Writing is just my first love. And I still have some issues with telling people what to do.
