THE BASICS

Cass grew up split between Brooklyn and Long Island suburbia. If that doesn’t make for a good identity crisis, her mother calls her Cass-AUND-ra and her father calls her Cass-AND-ra. You can just call her Cass. Her passion for writing kicked off at the tender age of 11 catfishing in AOL chatrooms. Lying about her A/S/L spun into a career in storytelling across multiple platforms (aka she also has a podcast).  

When she’s not telling stories that center and celebrate complicated girls and women of color grappling with identity, she’s in the social and brand strategy world - working with entertainment and community-oriented startups, agencies, and in-app networks to spark meaningful connections with audiences.

Cass lives in Los Angeles, where she still keeps a MetroCard in her wallet. She has been staffed as a Writers’ Assistant for Generation (HBO Max), Horrors of Dolores Roach s2 (Amazon) and in development mini rooms for FX, HBO, and Hulu.
