The Ivy League grad previously worked as an intern on Lena Dunham’s HBO series Girls in 2015 and The Weinstein Company in 2017.
She also served as a production assistant on Halle Berry’s CBS sci-fi drama series Extant before hitting the writers’ room.
Glover, who is also known by his stage name Childish Gambino, confirmed in March 2022 that he had given the former first daughter her first job writing for the series.

A few months ago, Michelle shared how her role as a parent has changed now that she’s in her 50s and her daughters are building a life for themselves in California.
“I’m going from Supreme Mother to Supreme Advisor,” she told Today co-anchor Hoda Kotb in the first episode of her podcast, The Light, which was taped during her last book tour.
“That’s a beautiful thing – to be able to watch my girls fly and have the relief of ‘Okay, I guess I didn’t mess them up.'”
The mother-of-two added that she is also aiming not to greet her daughters with a “critical eye” now that they are adults.
What Toni Morrison is saying is our kids just want our happiness. They don’t need us to fix them,” she explained. “They don’t need us to point out what’s wrong first.”
