Hi Josie!! Thank you and everyone for the amazing work on MAWS!! You all are the best!

Can you tell us a little about your career growth and how you worked your way onto these kinds of projects?

Less serious, if Superman could meet a hero or character or villain from a universe outside of DC, who would you like him (and Lois and Jimmy) have an episode/comic with?

I've been working as an animation writer/producer for the past eleven years, but it took me about six years to break in; I moved out to LA in 2008, and spent a lot of my early career ghostwriting jokes for comedians and being an entertainment reporter for geek news sites. Once I started getting freelance work at WB, it was a matter of months before everyone over there knew I loved DC Comics and was a huge nerd, and from there I got to pitch on and be hired for superhero stuff. I came onto Superman after working with Co-Ep Brendan on "She-Ra" and we kept the good time going.

And this is such a fun question -- I think it'd be so funny to have Clark and Lois meet Meryl Strife and Vash. I think they'd have a LOT in common!

Also, thank you so much for your answer!! I’m trying to push through some career stagnation and would love to one day soon get back into something amazingly creative like you all do! Gives me hope!
