Maria writer based in Los Angeles, California.
HI! I like writing and directing comedy, especially from the point of view of a weirdo brown girl with roots in Mexico and Nicaragua. I grew up all over Southern California, everywhere from the desert to the coast. My hobbies (and honestly, obsession) include true crime, tajin (yes, the spice), and keeping that comedy muscle flexed.
My work is featured on Spotify’s #1 true crime podcast: Serial Killers, and you can check out more of my research on Bloody Podcast.

updates:
Watch the premiere of Not Dead Yet Season 2 on ABC!
The show I’ve been a very lucky writer’s assistant on returns Feb 7th! Ghosts, romance, occasional true crime jokes and a struggling writer— girl, this show is speaking to me on so many levels.
Watch the hilarious, and incomparable cast this Wednesday on ABC, or Thurs on Hulu.

about Surprise Bitch sketch:
Collectively the team members' writing and acting credits include Funny Or Die, Nickelodeon, Middlespace, Buzzfeed, Comedy Central, NCIS, Dilliard's department store (live displays), various hospice residencies, and that one VHS tape when Bryan dances with a broom. It's super funny for some reason. Mike is our director, he’s really nice and wrote for Mr. Show, which is really impressive to all of us on the team plus he makes cool props.
