Professional Experience

A well-published freelancer, my expertise is humor. I have years of experience in producing comedy for national media outlets on quick deadlines and maintaining professional and editorial standards. I've edited and written for a national pop-culture magazine, written and storyboarded a best-selling comic strip and scripted comedy shorts for Wizard Entertainment and Marvel Comics. I also write sketches and perform with the Upright Citizens Theater Brigade Theater on their house team Scootch. On the straight journalism side, I've worked as a newspaper reporter and have a degree in journalism and political science. I have ample experience in conducting interviews and thoroughly researching stories. You can see my work on my blog at jongutierrez.blogspot.com.
