A SUMMARY OF SARAH

My parents hate advertising. So, naturally, I became a Copywriter. 

​

I guess that makes me a rebel. 

​

You know, the type of rebel who thinks band t-shirts and ripped jeans stand for something — but has never smoked a cigarette and is afraid to ride a motorcycle. 

​

The type who can recite every word of Jack Black’s “The Man” speech, but will get equally excited about working for a start-up as I do a big corporation.

​

After all, I did grow up idolizing Hawkeye Pierce, savoring every word written by S.E. Hinton, and listening to Green Day on repeat. I had no other choice than to become a writer with a rebellious spirit and sarcastic sense of humor.
