Jeane Phan Wong is a feature writer that is also a strike captain for the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and co-chair of the WGA Women's Committee. A child of Vietnam War immigrants, Jeane is Vietnamese-Chinese. She was raised Buddhist in the San Gabriel Valley with stints in Orange County and once in a Mormon town in Nevada. She developed a sweet tooth as a child working at her parents’ bakery. She grew up on a steady diet of Asian folklore, Sailor Moon, and weekly comic books. After interning in politics, getting certified as a First Responder, and a stint working at an oncology lab, she was on a pre-law public healthcare path. But this work convinced her to live by her favorite Han Solo line "Never tell me the odds" and dive into her real passion: Hollywood where she worked her way up as an assistant on six shows. Her genre-agnostic work skews Sahara dry wit meets a flawed character study and epic worlds. She also can’t resist a good love triangle. Jeane is a cat mom to Gabby Soprano, becoming a breakfast burrito sommelier, and trying to achieve the “glass skin” and matchy fashion looks of her favorite Kpop.
