I met Quinta in 2014 at BuzzFeed. I was an intern at the time. It was my first job out of college. And she had just got brought in to do a couple of comedy videos with our friend Justin Tan. Quinta, to me, has always been so amazing at how... how forward thinking she was. She was really adamant that the internet was a stage for her to play in.
