Angela Nissel

writer

Angela Nissel is author of the national best-selling comedic memoirs *The Broke Diaries* and *Mixed*. In addition to books, she is a co-executive producer and writer for NBC's medical sitcom *Scrubs* and executive producer of an in-development television project with Halle Berry and Vincent Cirricionne. Angela was born a lower-middle class light-brown child in Philadelphia. She even stayed in that fair city for college, graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in medical anthropology. That degree led to a stellar career as a temp for the IRS, a "melter" in a metalworking shop, and as a "sleep apnea auditor" working the 12AM to 8AM shift at a local hospital.
