After moving to New York City that year, she appeared on <I>New York Stand-Up Show, <I>Conan, <I>Chelsea Lately, and many other comedy programs. She has performed at numerous comedy festivals, including the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, the San Francisco Sketchfest, and the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland. Both <I>Variety and <I>Comedy Central have named her a Comic to Watch. She relocated to Los Angeles in 2014 and wrote for the Fox series <I>Surviving Jack, and she had an acting role on the second season of the TBS series <I>Ground Floor.
