I’m Cheska (short for Francesca). I lived in the Philippines until, at age 19, my parents were like, “Surprise! We’re moving to Los Angeles!”
Once the initial culture shock of coming to America faded, I started to appreciate my parents’ initiative of moving us to LA. I’ve always wanted to tell stories, and this was the best city to do it. A few years later, I ended up graduating from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Film and Digital Media.
I enjoy writing and creating comedic content that focuses on minorities and the unusual circumstances (or shenanigans) we go through. As a graduate of Second City Hollywood, I also love improvising and performing on stage.
When I’m not working, I am most likely rock climbing, playing with my cats, or travelling the world in search for the best street food.
