Back in 2002, I made the journey across the country from Savannah, Georgia, to Los Angeles in order to pursue a writing career in film and television. A desire to publish my written musings led me to start my first blog, Office Monkey Blog, and a few years after working various gigs in entertainment production, I landed a steady writing gig as Editor for celebrity interest website, SocialiteLife.com.

Over the course of three years, I became what I like to refer to as a “content monster.” I wrote a dizzying amount of snappy copy on a daily basis and edited countless photos and videos. I finally jumped off this fast-paced treadmill in January 2010 when I landed the position of Web Content Coordinator for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Since then, I’ve been hard at work, replacing the vast amount of pop culture trivia filling my brain with knowledge about the health care industry.

I’m currently trying to branch out in my writing endeavors and started this website as a place to showcase my various projects. These include essays, pictures, videos and whatever random thoughts pop into my head that I think are worth recording.

My old blog content lives here and since I was taking my cues from some of my favorite sassy celebrity gossip blogs—well, that and combined with the fact that I was a lowly assistant in PR who was completely and utterly over her job—I sound a lot more bitter and perhaps over-the-top than I do now. It’s a much happier Lisa writing the blog these days.

Also, be advised that when I first started keeping my first diary at the age of seven, I never knew what to write, so I just recorded what I ate. With that in mind, please don’t be alarmed if you find a meal on here every now and then—which you invariably will.
