My professional background is in public service and systems. I have over thirty years in public service, including twenty years with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services, where I work as a Program Assistant PSS / Program Integrity Compliance Officer (PICO). I review and monitor automated systems, reconcile and validate computer matches, and help detect, report, and prevent internal employee fraud while ensuring program rules are followed. Earlier in my career I worked in higher‑ed community services (Los Angeles City College) and as a teacher assistant with LAUSD, serving students from special education to adult ESL. I come to writing as a complete outsider to the film and television industry, a career low‑level bureaucrat turning lived experience with real institutions into story. I leverage my 30+ years of regulatory expertise to craft “administrative horror” that feels terrifyingly real.
