Hi Steemit, I'm Ellie! Writer/ER worker/dog person

in introduceyourself •  9 years ago 

Hi everyone!

My name is Ellie Guzman and I love writing, science, and comedy. Oh and wine. Oh and Hot Cheetos. Oh and anaphora.
My plans for Steemit are to post pieces that are funny, interesting, and entertaining. I'm excited to post about cool healthcare things like unique diseases and groundbreaking research in a language that's accessible to everyone, regardless of what their background is. I have a pretty diverse range of interests (I do standup comedy but I also work in an ER so my mind is a tad allovertheplace) and I'm happy to find a community that encourages its members regardless of what they're interested in. I also want to post pieces about being a woman of color, finding the perfect cheap gas station wine, and other millennial nonsense.
If you want to read some of my work on The Huffington Post or Thought Catalog go for it!
This is me:
Mustache selfie

Some quick facts about me:

  • I went to USC (shoutout to financial aid) and graduated Dec. 2015
  • I studied Human Biology in college and know too much about primates
  • I took a bartending class online and, yes, it was 100% worth it
  • I'm exactly five feet tall
  • I live in Los Angeles and I love it
  • I have one sister and a dog who is VERY cute and also I suspect that he is evil
  • I do bootcamp class a few times a week to compensate for that whole "five feet tall" thing
  • I know how to knit
  • The 50 minute commute to my job is very slowly driving me bananas
  • I epically suck at cooking, it's the worst
  • I'm Latina and my family is from El Salvador
  • I have too much time on my hands and am stoked to write and get to know all of you! Yay!

Lastly, look at my dog!
Colin

It was the mustache that got my vote (I own shares in a wax factory).

Welcome to the party! I just followed you on Twitter too. https://twitter.com/ellie_guzman/status/743147596143702016
I found this post of yours to be very enlightening, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellie-guzman/tell-me-how-much-you-hate-millennials_b_9311424.html and it has a great opening line...

"If I hear one more middle-aged person tell me how good I have it because I was born in the ‘90s, I’m going to literally barf so hard I shoot backwards across the room. "

My compliments on your writing skills!

Thanks Kenny!

I'm middle aged but I'd never say millennials have it great.... When I got out of college it was like, hmmmm... What career do I want? People didn't have the debt that they have now. But..........

"unique diseases and groundbreaking research in a language that's accessible to everyone, regardless of what their background is" Ellie! Dear Ellie! I'm so glad you decided to give it a try here! You will be great as so far, I don't think there's anyone exactly like you! Your like my twin, if I was a happy person! Me=happy to have you here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woooooohoooooooo!!!!!! YOU ARE HERE YOU ARE HERE YOU ARE HERE! MY LIFE IS BETTER ALREADY!!!

I'm so warm and fuzzy inside, I can hear Celine Dion playing in the background

Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!

Welcome Ellie, that is awesome that you work at the ER and do stand-up. They do say that laughter is the best medicine :p

Welcome Ellie!

Awesome! Great to have you here @ellieguzman! I'm excited to read your upcoming contributions here on Steemit. :)

Nice! Welcome to Steemit. Sadly, I had to look up "anaphora."

Does an online bartending class really allow you to get a bartending job?! It seems to be hard to break into bartending if you haven't been a waitress or already tended before.

Welcome to our community, have fun!

Hi Ellie, Welcome to Steemit. You are a young lady, that moustache makes you much to old...LOL from a fresh minnow newbie. 👋🏼😊
