She's a 32 y/o New Yorker who followed the boy she fell in love with at NYU to SF. That didn't work out but she stayed because she fell in love with SF's alt comedy scene (she's a stand up and podcast host by avocation but a copywriter at a luxury consignment brand to pay the bills). Her very reformed Jewish, very upper west side parents adopted her from the Phillippines when she was 8 months old and a lot of her comedy focuses on her transracial identity.
