One Television producer I admire is Tina Fey. Her authenticity, her drive, and her sheer storytelling capability have helped her pave the way and make major breakthroughs for women in comedy, not just in front of the camera, but also in the realm of writing and producing. Her script ideas, improv skills, and unique vision for leadership in the comedy workplace have also influence fellow women performers in the areas of content creation and producing.

Fey is a rolemodel for me in this way showing aspiring creatives, like myself, that we can be funny without offending anyone with vulgarity. Writers and performers on the set of SNL have said that Tina Fey brought a moral to the show. As a christian, I want to set a precedent where I work where my coworkers are positively influenced by my morals and beliefs. Fey is an inspiration to women, like myself, who desire to become a working mom in this industry (Heidi,
