I have also worked in representation as an assistant, then in television as an assistant, and read for staffing so I can offer early career advice navigation on managing reps and climbing up the ladder. I have sold more than I staffed so I have a speciality selling, especially as someone who is mid-career.
A child of Vietnam War immigrants, Jeane is Vietnamese-Chinese. She was raised Buddhist in the San Gabriel Valley with stints in Orange County and a Mormon town in Nevada. Growing up, she developed a sweet tooth as a child working at her parents’ bakery. She grew up on a steady diet of Asian folklore, Sailor Moon, and weekly comic books. After interning in politics, getting certified as a First Responder, and a stint working at an oncology lab, she was on a pre-law public healthcare path. But this work convinced her to live by her favorite Han Solo line "Never tell me the odds" and dive into her real passion: Hollywood.
Jeane is a published author, journalist, and podcaster. Jeane has sold numerous pilots, a feature, and has experience producing television from prep to post. She staffed on Freemantle's SANDOKAN and consulted for Freeform's pilot AZNBBYGRL. She’s currently part of Rideback Circle and is a WGA Captain. Jeane has worked in different genres but her writing skews a tongue in cheek POV and dry wit. Jeane also has experience on the other side of the development in indie filmmaking at Uncommon Voices Collective. She loves character studies, love triangles, and big worlds. When not writing, Jeane is a cat mom to Gabby Soprano and a breakfast burrito sommelier.
