I’m an Afro-Latino electrical engineer turned comedy writer — a career move that haunts my parents to this day. I teach online satire and personal essay classes at The Second City, coach at Hillside Writing, contribute to The Onion, and run the humor newsletter Shades of Greaves.
My writing has been featured in The New Yorker, NPR, and I’m a frequent contributor to the humor site McSweeney’s, where I’ve written several of the site’s most-read articles in 2020, 2021, and 2022. In 2023, I was a writer on the Peacock special, Back That Year Up, hosted by Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson. I am currently developing a sitcom, Fuerza, about an undocumented Latina with superpowers, through the Yes, And Laughter Lab fellowship.
My debut book, Spoilers: Essays That Might Ruin Your Favorite Hollywood Movies was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter and is available wherever you get your books.
