E029 How Dramatic Writing Led to Finding Her Dream Job in Comedy with Kelci Parker
Show Notes

Today's guest is Kelci Parker. She is the Director of Talent & Development at Comedy Central. She was born and raised in Southwest Michigan to a college football coach and elementary art teacher, to whom she credits her creativity and drive. After graduating with a degree in screenwriting from the University of Michigan, she moved to Los Angeles with aspirations to write, and everything went as planned until she was given an opportunity to shift from being a writer to helping others find success through development at Comedy Central. In this episode, Kelci and I talk about timing, with alopecia and her career, how our upbringing can absolutely influence how we walk in the world and share alopecia in our community, and what having core friends can do for all of that.
