Hey, everyone. Yvette Doss checking in. I'm an L.A. native. UC Berkeley undergrad and grad school (Philosophy and Journalism, respectively). I'm seeing a trend here...<br><br>I've worked as a magazine editor, indie newspaper publisher, NPR radio commentator, news reporter, etc. I firmly believe print media is not dead. It's just in a long, deep coma. Just wait for the next Y2K-ish scare. Same goes for fiction (the not-dead part, not the deep coma part). My emphasis is Fiction. Screenwriting is the other.<br>
<br>Currently working for a charter school group in South L.A. helping low-income kids get into college, and trying my hardest not to become a Soccer Mom the rest of the time. (I'm kicking, I'm screaming.)<br><br>
I also like playing with metal. As Albert Goldbarth said, We're born, and everything after that is self-medication.<br><br>Y<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 2:48 PM, Melissa Harkness <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mhark001@ucr.edu">mhark001@ucr.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

fellow grad rep that we don’t know many of the first years, and we would like
to. So if you’re game, no pressure here, please send an intro of yourself over
the list serv. It can be as simple as :</span></p>

from Memphis, TN, attended the University of Memphis to get my BFA in Theatre,
